<div>The flock functionality only affects applications that are actually using it. It does not add any overhead for applications that do not use flock. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are two flock options:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> - localflock, which only keeps locking on the local client node and is sufficient for applications that only run on a single node</div>
<div>- flock, which adds locking between applications on different clients mounted with this option. This is if you have a distributed application that is running on multiple clients that controls its file access via flock (e.g. Producer/consumer). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The overhead itself depends on how much the application is actually using flock. The lock manager is on MDS0, and uses Lustre RPCs (which can run at 100k/s or higher), and does not involve any disk IO. <br>

<div>Hi Torsten,<br>
</div>
Thanks that worked!<br>

Do you or anyone on the list know if/how flock affects Lustre performance? <br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks again,<br>

</span>I know nothing about Elastic Search, but have you tried to mount Lustre<br>
with "flock" in the mount options?<br>
