[Moosefs-users] Client wait time when uploading files

[Piotr S. <pio...@gm...>]

Hello guys,

I know that moosefs is rather more dedicated for LAN and extra high speed
solutions, although I use it over internet. We store files below 5 megs
there like office documents, and some kind of useful stuff that could be
used before.

Right now I experience client problems who upload the data.

Say I do winscp to the storage. Once a file is uploaded it's being
distributed onto other nodes. My question is why the client waits until all
files are redistributed (it actually looks like the upload hangs on 100% for
some time and when the file is on other nodes it releases 'the lock').

I figured out that once the file is uploaded and I stop the wait-time
(simply by killing the winscp process) the file is there anyway. So why to
wait?
