I know that PVFS2 does not support locking and understand the benefits of this design. However, I have a question about what happens to file writes for contiguous, non-overlapping writes.
Lets say I have N clients, each writing M bytes. The offset for each write is n*m. However, what if m*n is does not fall on either a page or block boundary? Two processes are going to want to touch the same page in memory (or on disk). Although the byte ranges are different, is this behavior defined?
