List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, Can someone please list for me the conditions under which an NFSv3 client would send FILE_SYNC write requests? I have the filesystem exported on the server with the sync option (which is not supposed to prevent the client from writing with UNSTABLE), and mounted from the client with the default mount options. And still i have a user-space application that generates WRITEs with FILE_SYNC! This is what I know that can make the client write using FILE_SYNC: - mount -o sync - open(...,O_SYNC) Thanks, Oren. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ NFS maillist - NFS@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nfs
