Hello,
The glusterfs hang, wait for some minutes then goes ahead, then hang... In this
case the virtual machine hang too, then is back responsive in some minutes, then
hangs and so on.

Does the Glusterfs just hangs without responding?. Does the hang go on
infinitely or are you able to interrupt in the middle?.

Hello Harshavardhana
Nope, the ESX Server are installed with Linux and I place the virtual hard disk
files on gluster.
So I can use Gluster to host the Virtual Machines.

Hi Nicola,
Are you using NFS export on windows machines?.

Dear All,
I'm evaluating Gluster 3.0 with VMware ESX 4.
I have one physical server (with 1 SATA HD) installed with Gluster.
It's connected on a Gbit Switch with the port VMKernel of VMware. A single
switch only for this storage.
I create the volume and on Gluster everything works perfect. The logs are clear
with the startup. Also do a reboot.
I connect the NFS volume with the GUI of VMware. Works perfect.
I browse the empty store from the GUI and works. I create a directory and it
works.
I try to browse the directory and the GUI hags... it take minutes for displaying
the empty folder.
I created a new VM and placed on this Store. Works great
As soon as the machine start and start allocating space, it hang and is
unresponsive.
I connect with SSH to the console of my VMware server.
I try to copy one virtual machine image file from another store, to the store
assigned to Gluster.
It hangs, take minutes to browse and hang on copying.
No error on the Gluster log
Any ideas?
To have VMware work also with VMotion I have to setup the NFS with the GUI, I
can mount normal on the file system.
Thanks for the Help.
Nicola
