[Gluster-users] Gluster 2.0.1 Locking up entire machine under load

[Daniel Jordan Bambach]

I am running a test install of GlusterFS 2.0.1 in preparation of  
rolling it out to a couple of production servers.

It is set up as a simple two machine as both client and server (see  
below config), to mirror the filesystem between the machines.

I am finding that if I put it under heavy load, the machine under load  
will hang completely, and need to be hard-rebooted to bring it back up.

Im not seeing any errors from Gluster - is there anything I can do to  
collect more data/ crashlogs?

I am running this on Fedora 7, under VMWare, with the stock Fuse  
version 2.7.3-2.fc7
GlusterFS compiled from source.

One thing I am unsure of is whether my AFR config is ok - on one side  
it is a tcp client, and the other is the local 'brick' Is this ok, or  
do I need to specify another tcp client for the local server to afr  
with?

Many thanks for any help.
