Description of problem: Customer stated that when one of his node went unresponsive, the failover to the good node did not occur, causing the FUSE client to hang. This specific machine was having a high CPU load, I tried to ssh to the gluster server node 1, It was waiting up to 2 minutes to ask for the password. When I opened the VMware console, it was not showing a 'frozen' server, the server was alive, but looks like was 'too busy'. I pressed enter and the Red Hat screen was jumping the lines, but never showed the prompt. From the client's log, we do see the unwinding of saved frames possibly due to timeouts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.1 (Maipo) Red Hat Gluster Storage Server 3.1 Update 1 How reproducible: Occurred only once Steps to Reproduce: 1. None 2. 3. Actual results: The FUSE client kept hanging. Expected results: The FUSE client should not hang but should switch over to the other node. Additional info:
