Hello, I tried doing a google search, but didn't come up with much useful info. I have 4 CentOS 7 servers running glusterfs 5.3 that manage a 12 brick Distributed-Replicate volume. I run nfs-ganesha 2.7.1.-1 on all 4. I have another 3 Linux servers tha mount the gluster volume using glusterfs (no problem there) and I distribute the mounts to use different gluster servers. I also have a legacy OSX server that mounts the volume via NFS from the 4th gluster server and does a Samba reshare (my users use the OSX to mount the data disk). The problem comes with this last mount. Every once in a while the ganesha-gfapi.log file will show a number of rpc_clnt_ping_timer_expired errors claiming that the servers have not responded in 42 seonds, and what's most confusing to me is that it's not the OSX server, but rather the other gluster servers including the same server on which it is running. When this happens my OSX server freezes and I have to restart ganesha-nfs. I'm attaching the configuration files.
