I am not using DHT but that probably should not matter for locks. > To makes things clear about how glusterfs understand 'type' of a volume defined in the vol file. GlusterFS does try to open a shared library file located at "${XLATOR_DIR}/<given/type/in-vol-file>.so". Now, if you look at the directory '${XLATOR_DIR}/features/', you can find that posix-locks.so is a symlink to 'locks.so'. Hence they both are actually same library (ie, same type in volume file). Other symlinks used are cluster/dht -> cluster/distribute cluster/afr -> cluster/replicate ----- Now coming to locks issues, yes, we did fix some issues with 'flock()' in recent 3.0.x version. Please use 3.0.2+ version, and let us know how it goes. Regards, Amar
