Re: [Gluster-devel] Strange Error

[Krishna Srinivas]

Ruslan,

Indeed it is a strange error. Is it an easy bug to reproduce? By the
way, don't use single process server and client, we found issues
regarding locking. If the bug is easy to reproduce you can also check
if it is seen if server and client are different processes.
