Hi list, does latest ocfs2 support POSIX locks or doesn't it? The infos I've found contradict each other, according to [1] it's not supported, but according to [2] it's mentioned as working since kernel 2.6.28: ---8--- Cluster aware POSIX file locks (fcntl(), lockf())
Required Kernel: Linux 2.6.28 Required Tools: Any - userspace cluster stack required POSIX locks are now cluster aware. Locks taken on one node will interact with those taken on another node. Due to the group communication required to make these locks coherent, a userspace cluster is required. ---8--- Cheers, Frank [1] <http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/dist/documentation/v1.4/ocfs2-1_4-usersguide.pdf>: p.12: "(Note: Support for clustered POSIX file locks, also known as lockf(3) or fcntl(2), has not yet been added. We hope to have that available in the near term.)"
