Thanks for that, Ira.
So far the combined effect of:
kernel oplocks = no
oplocks = yes
level2 oplocks = yes
on a FUSE-mounted GlusterFS share appears to keep everything happy.
So far no data corruption, and a mostly-happy user base. That doesn't
work with vfs_glusterfs, and other combinations result in locking
problems (again, Photoshop, Word and Excel are the three most
troublesome).
A real bummer too, because vfs_glusterfs is noticeably faster,
particularly at directory traversal.
