Re: [Moosefs-users] flock, fcntl file locking, Cyrus IMAP and MooseFS.

[Michał B. <mic...@ge...>]

Hi!

At the moment file locking works only "locally". So if you lock a file on
the client (machine A) its kernel remembers it is locked but another client
(machine B) doesn't know about it.

Global locking should be introduced in 1.7 branch but I cannot tell exactly
when it happens.


Kind regards

Subject: [Moosefs-users] flock, fcntl file locking, Cyrus IMAP and MooseFS.

Greetings!
The question is:
can we use MooseFS as a storage for Cyrus IMAP server?
In its' docs it is said that it extensively uses file locking (through flock

and/or fcntl system calls).
As I understand, it is just a matter of MooseFS  support for this locking 
mechanisms.
Is it already available and if not, for what release is it planned?

Best regards,
Leonid.
