[Gluster-devel] FIRST_CHILD(frame->this)->fops->create

Thu Aug 6 05:07:50 UTC 2009

Excellent - thanks Avati.

This also, then, confirms that my fd_create() version was
failing because of the incorrectly populated loc structure.

It also didn't occur to me that the server xlator would have
the type of sample code I could use for this ... I'm working
my way through server_create() now ... and server_loc_fill()
from server-helpers.c ...

It looks like you've opened some good avenues here; if I
get stuck I'll post back.

Thanks for your help - I look forward to contributing to the
project.
