[Lustre-discuss] lustre official flock support

[Joe Barjo]

Hi

Still testing lustre.
I have setup one  mds and 2 ost using the zero config procedure on real
lvm volumes on 3 machines.
It's working just fine, very easy to configure!
While making my tests, I saw that the flock system call was not working.
Googling aroung I found the flock option in the mount command, and it
seems to work just fine.

However, I've read in the documentation that flock will only be
supported in 1.8 version of lustre.
What is the current status of this?
Is flock usable in production for 1.6.4.2?

Thanks
