There's 2 types of NFS sync, server and client but they behave very differently. With sync at the client end, NFS just calls fsync on close (I think), with sync at the server end, all writes are synchronous. Opening the file with O_SYNC also doesn't give the desired effect although you'd think it would. NFS must have some way of communicating the file attribute changes to all the clients immediately the write completes. > > Man page snippet for fuse(8): > OPTIONS > Most of the generic mount options described in mount are > supported (ro, rw, suid, nosuid, dev, > nodev, exec, noexec, atime, noatime, sync, async, dirsync). > Filesystems are mounted with > nodev,nosuid by default, which can only be overridden by a > privileged user. > > Thanks, > Santosh > > > > > Cheers, > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Gluster-users mailing list > > Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx > > http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users > _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
