Hi again, I thought glusterfs is using the stack based design instead of a threaded one to simplify the internal design etc, for example to get rid of nastly thread locking/ synchronization issues. So I wonder if it is safe to use the io-threads translator in front of any other translator than the posix-storage translator. Wasn' the io-threads translator be meant to be used directly before the posix-storage translator only, as it's the only translater which has blocking system calls? If all translators are thread-safe, what's the advantage of using a stack based approach instead of a multi threaded one anyway? Corin
