The client crashes while I shutting down some servers.

The mounted directory over /glusterfs is unresponsive, and reports:

root@machine / [92]# cd /glusterfs 
-bash: cd: /glusterfs: Transport endpoint is not connected
root@machine / [93]# l
ls: cannot access glusterfs: Transport endpoint is not connected

See attached for the full log.

Steps to reproduce and the back trace with symbols:
mount a replicated volume.
start a dd for a file
bring one of the bricks down
remove the file from the mount point while the dd is still in progress
bring the brick backup
the next write call triggers an openfd self heal but the loc will be all zeros so loc_copy will crash the client
