[Gluster-devel] posix-lock or not

[Hans Einar Gautun]

Hi all,

I've been playing with posix-locks. Setup is single server and client on
the same host. Filesystem is xfs. I've used the simple testlock.pl
provided earlier from Kevan Benson.
Scenarios:
With posix-locks loaded, but mandatory and advisory off
With posix-locks loaded, but mandatory and advisory on
Without loading posix-locks
On another local disk, xfs filesystem
I've started the script, (adjusted it to lock the file for 10 seconds)
and started it once again before the first run is finished.

Result is the same for all scenarios.

Possible conclusion: On xfs I don't need to load posix-locks. Am I
right?

Thanks,
