Re: Concurrent writes management.

[COCHE Sébastien <SCOCHE@xxxxxxxx>]

Does it mean that if I use gluster FUSE driver or NFS client, fcntl locks are manages and no data corruption could happen ?

Thank you for your response.

I understand that the file exist only one time on the volume. But it can be accessed in write, by many nodes (clients) at the same time.

What’s happen in those case ?

Nothing bad will happen to the filesystem. But the file may not be meaningful if the applications writing to it don't synchronize overlapping concurrent writes with fcntl locks.

Hello

 

I have a question regarding concurrent write.

How are manage those writes ? Is there a risk of data corruption ?

Is there a lock mechanism, against corruption ? If yes, how it work ?

I already had a look to forum and documents but I did not found a deep dive explanation.

For plain distribute volumes there exists only one file in the volume with the data. All the operations on the file happen just like they happen on normal filesystem. For replicated/distributed replicated volumes there are internal locks taken by replication feature to avoid any in-consistencies.
Please check https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/doc/features/afr-v1.md to know more about it.
