No, others are saying that. :) I am saying that
writing without locking should be supported (after all
how do I lock from a script, certainly writing to
glusterfs from a script should be supported?) and
it can cause split brain if using AFR.

While that might solve it, it certainly would be a
performance hit. At this point I would welcome even
the slow locking solution. Since it seems pretty easy
to cause this problem, I would not trust AFR to say a
mail spool without some way of preventing this.
