You should post what version you are using and the output of
'gluster volume info'.<br>

<div>About 10 clients connecting to both of the volumes and

Its a lot of files and folders... <br>

Define 'a lot'. I'm soon going to migrate 83 million files to
Gluster and that's not 'a lot' compared to some others.<br>

<div>When one of the servers goes down all clients seems to hang

guess it is being done in memory until the file is accessible

<div>What controles this timeout? Is it possible to adjust it? Is
it advisable to adjust it, if you can?<br clear="all">

This might be what you are looking for but I don't know if it's
advisable to change it.<br>
