We have a four-node, replicated cluster. When using the native gluster client, we use the local server as the mount point (ie., mount localhost:/glustervolume /dir). For NFS, can we do the same, or should all of the clients mount from the same server to ensure proper locking?? I've tried using the localhost for NFS but we seemed to have lock contention. Recommendations would be appreciated. sean -- Sean Fulton GCN Publishing, Inc.

I ended up using the 'nolock' option with NFS - Even with only one client mounted, I had issues with locking. On 3/14/12 5:26 PM, Sean Fulton wrote:> We have a four-node, replicated cluster.
