How reproducible:
It seems fairly consistent within a certain subset of jobs.  I will track down this information.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mount filesystem on compute nodes 
2. Let jobs run through, using wh-fs:work.rdma as their working directory (will find specific cases)
3. Various nodes lose mount; "transport endpoint not connected".  Tasks are still attached to the mount.
  
Actual results:
Jobs fail because FS mount is dropped


Expected results:
Jobs should complete and the FS mount should be stable


Additional info:
Log snippet of /var/log/glusterfs/work.log (on compute node): http://pastie.org/3291330

Will try to get more logs and debugging information

This is the priority for immediate future (before 3.3.0 GA release). Will bump the priority up once we take RDMA related tasks.

mostly looks like readlink buffer length issue. Need to verify.
