we need an a way to avoid such NFS System Hang IO when any of protocol nodes restarted and ganesha go in grace period time ...i suggest to enhance in way of ganesha work to avoid clients that connected to other protocol nodes to affect with this time and only cliets that connected to this rebooted node hange in time of grace period until VIP move to another availabe node ...As we have a Big cluster with 6 nodes of protocol nodes and when one of them go down all banking sectors affected with this time of grace period ..hope to find us a solution for this long time problem desing.

because not all system will go down and only clients that connected to protocol node affected one will disconnect only and other will still working fine. all mega projects that use Spectrum scale and to avoid SPOF description when one of protocol go down and all CES daemon go in Hang state until  grace period finish and client move to another node.
