[Gluster-devel] distributed locking

[Brian Taber]

I have been running Dovecot and Postfix with a 2 brick setup and posix
locking enabled on each brick for a while with no problems.  This is a
Maildir setup...  Dovecot is setup to use fcntl for locking.... remember
that gluster does not support flock as fuse does not support it...
