 I wrote to the mail list but no one answered. Hope this is the better
 place for such report.

 I have one problem with updating the directories. Sometimes a server
 is dropping out of network for various reasons but still remains
 connected on welcome page. When I'm trying to access any directory my
 node starts map updating and it may be very long operation during
 which all work with directories hangs. It takes from 10 to 14 minutes
 and I guess it's unacceptable for such system. Where can I set the
 timeout for this? I set up:

 timeout.keepalive = 60
 timeout.disconnect = 300

 But this doesn't help. One of servers lost internet connection
 suddenly and that's what I got accessing one of directories (there
 were 4 servers and only 3 requests succeded):

 Timings:
 Total: 14 minutes
 Initial Queries: 4.5ms
 Cumulative Verify: 1.0ms
 Per-Server Response Times:
 [nfyml6h3]: 3.4ms
 [t726lxet]: 67ms
 [35jflwuq]: 32ms

 Almost 15 minutes! That becomes critical if you mount a directory via
 sshfs+sftpd, then any process may stuck when lists this mounted dir
 and the only way is to kill sshfs (you couldn't kill the process
 itself, it's in D+ state) or wait (not knowing how long). Please,
 point me to the right timeout option for such requests! 10 to 30
 seconds would be very nice.
