Hi, i have a question about parallel i/o. In my application, actually i have implemented a file lock with C system calls, like flock. But, is this the right way to do concurrent write?
In this cluster, every node has our operating system, so, the file lock functions only on the processors of that node, not for all. I can have two or more process of different nodes that writes concurrent in the file. Is this dangerous or not? It's depends by file system? I'm using MPI-1 under OpenMPI.
