On my Gluster system if I open, write, fsync and close a file from one client and very soon after try to open the file on another client, the data written by the first client may or may not be there. This is the same behaviour as for NFS disks exported async and is not unexpected. If I repeat the test on NFS disks exported sync, the second node always immediately sees the data written by the first. The problem is, I have a an application which depends on this behaviour. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
