[Gluster-users] NFS file locks

[Steinmetz, Ian]

Shehjar,

Good catch on the typo, I fixed it an restarted.  Still had the same
issue.  I also was able to get samba working, and file locking seems to
work fine; however, with samba the file owner/group and priv aren't
transferred to clients.  This at least points to an issue with how
NFS/FUSE/GLUSTER are working together.

I'm also searching to see if I can find any other FUSE file systems that
have had similar issues.

This is nothing to worry about..just debugging output.

I'll continue looking into this but in the mean time you could test over

NFS again with "manditory" changed to "mandatory". Let me know if that 
works.
