Ian, Mandatory locking is not supported in 3.0.x releases. Even if you turn this option on, it does not in any way change any locking behavior in GlusterFS. You can perhaps try this, specifically for locking: Turn on an option in the locks translator - 'option trace on'. It prints debug information about locks which is useful for debugging. Send us the output and we'll see if a bug needs to be filed. Nevertheless, we'll try and reproduce it in-house.

Still had the same issue. I also was able to get samba working, and file locking seems to work fine; however, with samba the file owner/group and priv aren't transferred to clients. This at least points to an issue with how NFS/FUSE/GLUSTER are working together. I'm also searching to see if I can find any other FUSE file systems that have had similar issues. -- Ian Steinmetz -----Original Message----- From: Shehjar Tikoo [mailto:shehjart at gluster.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 1:40 AM To: Steinmetz, Ian Cc: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: Re: NFS file locks Steinmetz, Ian wrote: > I've turned on debug logging for the server and client of GlusterFS and > amended them below.

Let me know if that works.
