[Linux-cluster] Filesystem Freeze

[Röthlein Michael (RI-Solution)]

Hello,
 
We use GFS for about 1 year now on a 4 node cluster connected to a SAN. In the past weeks nearly every day we had troubles desribed here: http://www.open-sharedroot.org/faq/troubleshooting-guide/system-failures/the-whole-cluster-freezes/ as "Freeze of filesystem"

Is there any sure way to determine which node causes the lock or any fix for this issue? 
We use this cluster as web server running apache 2.

Thanks in advance

Yours
