Peng, Christoph Hi
This is in violation of the pnf-objects draft. We are obliged
on chown to return layouts because of how the CAPs work, they
have an embedded CAPs version which might increment when chown
is changed, and also the credential keys. Which means that using
the old layout will return an E_ACCESS from the OSD.
But..
I will agree with this patch. The above is true in an OSD
protocol higher then NO_SEC. But none of the current implementation
support anything other then NO_SEC.
Second also with none-NO_SEC once a client does a chown the server
needs to RECALL all other clients, so as Peng says above the Server
should/can also recall from us.
But some good sole needs to make an errata at the RFC draft so to
explain.
So:
