Hello, 

Now, I'm searching $subject to check what application is match for
glusterfs.  I picked some differences from sources, bugzilla pages,or
archived e-mails, but it may not be a good way to approach... 
If already there are some notes or wiki pages, please teach me it.


only 3 items are in my list now:

from local FS:

 - order of operation between two system calls are not guaranteed.

from NFS:

 - open same file twice in same process can be break the file.

Known issues:

 - rename(2) is not atomic (bug 1034)
