OK, but it deadlocks when we write, unless we use "sync" option, which hurts the performance. As mentioned by Rajesh Amaravathi: "This is a problem generic to fuse/userspace filesystems." Mid term, are there any plans to deal with this problem? I understand the fix may need to be partially done on the kernel side, but it would be very beneficial to glusterfs. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://www.ptraveler.com
