hi shehjar,
many thanks for your reply.
that is 4 servers - serving ~30 clients - 95% linux, 5% mac. all NFS.
Mac OS as a nfs client remains untested against Gluster NFS. Do you see
these errors on Mac or Linux clients?
only tested locking on linux so far.

I'm working with Paul on this.
We did take advice on XFS beforehand, and were given the impression that it
would just be a performance issue rather than things not actually working.
We've got quite fast hardware, and are more comfortable with XFS that ext4

hi fabricio,
many thanks for your input. indeed i am using xfs - but that seems to be
mentioned in the gluster docs without any mention of problems. we
benchmarked xfs vs ext4 - and found that xfs to be much better at dealing
with the bulk of our data - hi-def frames ~3-10M each - and large

Hi David
XFS works fine as a backing store for GlusterFS. We've

so, while your all about - my big question is can/does gluster (with
NFS/fuse client) properly lock files?
ie, a simple test is to checkout a svn tree to a gluster, modify, checkin,
list, alter, revert. everytime i do this with 3.1.2 i get input/output
errors from my client machine within a few

Thanks, Joe. Both servers use NTP against the same subnet router so it's
unlikely that they had a time discrepancy. I just checked the two servers
and their times are consistent with each other at the moment.

hi joe,
it's very reassuring to read your post. answers in-line.
I do believe it is a serious and stable system. We are running into
specific bugs. I'm ok with workarounds, but I really want to find a way to
cause the problems.

Hi Paul,
Locking is part of the core GlusterFS protocol but the NFS server module
does not have NLM support yet(NLM is the locking protocol associated with
NFSv3). On linux, the workaround is generally to mount with the -o nolock
option although I dont see why excluding this option results in
