Couple of factors to consider while using syncops: 1. Are you using syncops in synchronous (with cbk argument as NULL) or asynchronous manner (with a non-null argument)? 2. If using in synchronous manner, the thread which is invoking syncop_** is blocked till the task is complete. If for any reason the caller thread is required for completion of task (lets say task involves processing of a reply from server and blocked thread is the thread which reads from socket and processes reply - this is just one such example and there can be many other such examples), there will be deadlocks. We need to make sure such a thing shouldn't happen. With these data-points you should be able to make decision based on your use-case. regards, Raghavendra > > Diogenes > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel > _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
