Hi, We have two nodes with centos 5.5 x64 and cluster+gfs offering samba and NFS services. Recently one node displayed the following messages in log files: Sep 13 08:19:07 NODE1 gfs_controld[3101]: cpg_mcast_joined error 2 handle 2846d7ad00000000 MSG_PLOCK Sep 13 08:19:07 NODE1 gfs_controld[3101]: send plock message error -1 Sep 13 08:19:11 NODE1 gfs_controld[3101]: cpg_mcast_joined error 2 handle 2846d7ad00000000 MSG_PLOCK Sep 13 08:19:11 NODE1 gfs_controld[3101]: send plock message error -1 When this happens in the other node access to samba services begin to freeze and this error appears: Sep 13 08:08:22 NODE2 kernel: INFO: task smbd:23084 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Any hints about this? Thanks, Sandra PD: versions of kernel and cluster kernel-2.6.18-194.el5 cman-2.0.115-34.el5 kmod-gfs-0.1.34-12.el5.centos gfs-utils-0.1.20-7.el5
