It there's no single machine which does most of the accesses, then probably so. > I have not been able to find out about 'gfs_controld -l0' -- where > is that set and what does "-l0" do? Try gfs_controld -h for some help. Basically, acquiring of Posix locks (fcntl locks) is artifically throttled on GFS by default. If you invoke gfs_controld with the -l0 option, this throttling is turned off. It probably doesn't buy you much unless your application uses this type of locks. I hope I recalled the above correctly. Somebody told me that this default is likely to be changed in the future, tough. -- Regards, Feri. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
