[Gluster-devel] gluster 3.4 worm feature

[Jules Wang]

hi, Tobias
     Maybe the answer is TRUE, because WORM xlator is based on Read-only xlator.
     According to the source code, the only difference between WORM and Read-only is : on the volume with WORM xlator,   file could be opened with mode O_APPEND, that means you could append data to the file.
