Subject: Why NFS server does not pass lock requests via VFS lock() op?
Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2002 16:11:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <OF3AABFEC7.87E5D2A4-ON87256C4D.007E3028@us.ibm.com> (raw)
Could anyone remind me of why NFS kernel would not pass byte range lock
requests to the underlying filsystem at the server side?
I think another person at IBM (Brian?) submitted a patch for this but such
patch never got included in the distribution.
I think a patch to pass lock requests to the underlying filesystem does not
affect single node NFS servers and it enables us to
support clustered Linux-based NAS heads over distributed file systems.
Juan
