It's not related to your problem. Just a note: when you use the
noatime mounting option in fstab then you do not need to use
nodiratime because noatime takes care of both.<br>

<br>
my goal is to create a reliable virtualization environment
using CentOS
<br>
6.4 and KVM, I've three nodes and a clustered GFS2.
<br>
<br>
The enviroment is up and working, but I'm worry for the
reliability, if
<br>
I turn the network interface down on one node to simulate a
crash (for
<br>
example on the node "node6.blade"):
<br>
<br>
1) GFS2 hangs (processes go in D state) until node6.blade get
fenced
<br>
2) not only node6.blade get fenced, but also node5.blade!
<br>
<br>
Help me to save my last neurons!
<br>
<br>
Thanks

DLM, the distributed lock manager provided by the cluster, is
designed to block when a known goes into an unknown state. It
does not unblock until that node is confirmed to be fenced. This
is by design. GFS2, rgmanager and clustered LVM all use DLM, so
they will all block as well.
<br>
<br>
As for why two nodes get fenced, you will need to share more
about your configuration.

My configuration is very simple I attached cluster.conf and hosts
files.
<br>
This is the row I added in /etc/fstab:
<br>
/dev/mapper/KVM_IMAGES-VL_KVM_IMAGES /var/lib/libvirt/images gfs2
defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
<br>
<br>
I set also fallback_to_local_locking = 0 in lvm.conf (but nothing
change)
<br>
<br>
PS: I had two virtualization enviroments working like a charm on
OCFS2, but since Centos 6.x I'm not able to install it, there is
same way to achieve the same results with GFS2 (with GFS2 sometime
I've a crash after only a "service network restart" [I've many
interfaces then this operation takes more than 10 seconds], with
OCFS2 I've never had this problem.

<br>
Thanks
