fuse is an API to implement file systems; it's not a file system by itself. It is entirely possible to create a file system using fuse that does not support locking. > Lustre users get what they pay for, and I don't know > for coda. I don't know whether coda supports locking, either; but from what I hear about it, even if it didn't support it and an application which assumes it does totally corrupts everything on the disk, you probably wouldn't notice the difference from it having locking anyway due to the "quality" of the code. -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
