Ah, then the application probably *is* asking for a lock of some sort, but that lock isn't being passed through. In theory it should be possible to replicate this and generate a trace of the messages being passed through to glusterfsd (but I'm afraid I don't know the best way to do that) _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list [email protected] http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
