Description Sachidananda Urs 2012-03-16 17:18:53 UTC

This is possibly due to NAT happening (Have to confirm this yet)...

In that case the log messages have to be more descriptive. Other applications work except for exclusive locks. Basic locking works, but the blocking calls fail.

Comment 1 Krishna Srinivas 2012-03-19 05:38:22 UTC

Explained the problem to sac that the problem was happening because of the NAT router. Gluster NLM server was trying to do portmap query of NLM on the client and failing (gluster NLM server would think that the NAT router is the client - because of NAT'ing). For NLM to work properly there should not be NAT or firewall between the server and the client.

Comment 2 Sachidananda Urs 2012-04-04 07:20:20 UTC

We should be documenting this before closing the bug. I will update the bug and add a pointer to documentation if I can get a pointer.

Till then we can keep the bug as open.

Divya,

Can you please confirm if the documentation is complete?

Thanks
