Kevan,
There is a typo in my email it should read
$ ruby ./testlock.rb /mnt/glusterfs/test/testfile 60
When another instance was started:
$ ruby ./testlock.rb /mnt/glusterfs/test/testfile
opening /mnt/glusterfs/test/testfile and locking
./testlock.rb:6:in `initialize': No such file or directory - /mnt/glusterfs/test/testfile (Errno::ENOENT)
from ./testlock.rb:6:in `open'
from ./testlock.rb:6:in `open_locked'
from ./testlock.rb:24
The script attempts to open a file in "w" mode and get a LOCK_EX on it before writing. Therefore it either creates or recreates the file. The second instance should block until the LOCK_UN is requested by the first instance. It instead reports ENOENT. Rerunning the second instance once the first instance releases the lock succeeds with another LOCK_EX being granted. BTW, you must be running fuse-2.7.0-gls3 and recompile glusterfs with the libfuse.so from that for this the work because flock support was just added by the Gluster team. Stock fuse does not support flock yet.

Actually, I think you had a typo in the path. Instance 1 was
on /mnt/glusterfs/testfile and instance 2 was
on /mnt/glusterfs/test/testfile, which if it didn't exuist would result in
the error "No such file or directory" which you got.
