Description Haim 2012-08-09 16:12:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

we have a case (http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-August/003330.html) where an attempt to createStorageDomain using NFS connection always fail since there is some kind of lock around supervdsm which fails the creating of persistent dictionary (in the logs you see that thread goes to sleep for around 50 seconds) and later on dies within the oop handling.  

restart of vdsmd doesn't seem to solve the problem. 
NFS connection looks o.k as I manage to mount it and perform IO on it.

> kernel version in log seems to match bug 845660?

I cannot really reproduce since I don't have the environment, maybe Justin can, in any case, what is the question ? do you imply that it's not vdsm fault but the kernel ? the mount point seem valid, I manage to perform I\O to it manually, so it doesn't seem right.

I think this can be closed as a dup of BZ #845660, which has been resolved.
