: :I'm nothing like an NFS expert, so I may be talking through my hat, :but... I presume NFS correctly supports O_APPEND semantics for :multiple clients (as seen from the server). In this case, the :optimization only works when there's only one client machine (though :possibly multiple processes on that machine) is using write+O_APPEND. : :Peter
I don't this was ever supported or ever will be in the multiple-client case. Maybe eventually with the leasing stuff. Otherwise, no way. The stateless nature of NFS makes it virtually impossible. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
