[Gluster-users] Problem creating/editing files with samba gluster vfs module..

[Ira Cooper]

There is, but before disabling flock, I'd like to understand why we are doing it.  I thought we implemented posix locking in gluster?

The parameter will be named "locking", and I believe it can be set to posix, use a TDB, or nothing.

Thanks,

-Ira
