[Gluster-devel] mmap not working

[Mickey Mazarick]

I haven't tested this with tcp yet either, but I'm pretty sure it's fuse 
that's preventing mmap from working fully.
I've turned direct-io off, but mmap functions still throw errors. I did 
attempt to side-step the problem by creating a loop device and mounting 
it but that didn't work for the same reasons.

It's my understanding that fuse doesn't support mmap writing fully. 
There is a questionable patch out there:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-fsdevel/2007/11/15/417491

Is this something that's worth trying add to the  patched glusterfs fuse 
module? I was going to take a stab at it but wanted a second opinion 
because my C skills are now half a decade rusty.


Thanks!
