Hi everyone, I'm new to NFS and am trying to understand how to use it safely and correctly. The situation I'm considering is following. There's a server with an ( ext4 if it matters ) local volume that's exported through NFSv4. There are expected to be both remote ( ie. over the NFS ) read/write clients and local ones that write to the volume directly ( ie. not thorough the NFS ). Assuming well-behaved clients, ie. no interleaved open()...close() on the same file, how will NFS handle this ? Will close-to-open consistency continue to work, will it interfere with delegations ? Pointers or thoughts greatly appreciated.
