[Gluster-users] File locking while using NFS

[Chris Clarke]

Hi,

Scenario - 3 servers each with 1 brick of storage on their local disk.
 These 3 bricks make up a distributed Gluster volume.  This volume is
mounted using the fuse client on all 3 servers so they can all concurrently
access the files stored on the shared filesystem.

As I understand it, Gluster will handle file locking and concurrency across
the 3 nodes.  Is that true?

Does gluster also handle the file locking if each of the 3 servers mounts
the gluster volume as NFS (mount -t localhost:/blah /blah) or is locking
then handled by each NFS daemon so it would not lock across the different
servers?

I may not be explaining this very well but I'd welcome your input!!

Thanks

Chris
