Created attachment 187 [details]
yet another test program.

The gnfs trace log file does not hint at any timeout on the NFS side because the requests are getting served right till the last line of the log file. It is possible that the timeout referred to in the SFS log is a timeout for the sfsmanager and sfs client communication. We're going to test with a higher timeout value.

We tried to run SFS2008 in one server one client mode. While for low load values 
(target IOPS in SFS) it runs though the CPU load of the glusterfs process is very high n the server-side.

Detailed set-up
US-server - brickX
GNFS - GlusterNFS-beta-rc1
export directory (/exports/gnfs   -  JBOD)
volfile :-

---------------------------------------------------------------------

volume localdisk-posix
        type storage/posix
        option directory /exports/gnfs
end-volume

volume localdisk-ac
        type features/access-control
        subvolumes localdisk-posix
end-volume

volume localdisk
        type features/locks
        subvolumes localdisk-ac
end-volume

volume brick
  type performance/io-threads
  option thread-count 8
  subvolumes localdisk
end-volume


volume nfsd
        type nfs/server
        subvolumes brick
        option rpc-auth.addr.allow *
end-volume

sfs run command

java SfsManager -r sfs_nfs_rc -s junk


The sfs out-put file is attached it can be seen it crashed due to response time-out.

The trace-log of the server-side is at dev.gluster.com at ~prithu/gntr.l.bz2.

Prithu has verified that the run finishes after increasing the timeout value for SFS. Closing.
