For write-once files, the rename is really the key to ensuring that readers never see an incomplete file. If you ever rewrite a file in place, you'll need flock to avoid reading a partially updated (i.e. inconsistent) file. Jay's suggestions might also be helpful even though they both have to do with metadata, because we use attributes to determine when it's necessary to re-read a file that might have changed. It's kind of up to you to determine which combination is needed to meet your own consistency goals with your own workload. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
