readdir() with a per-directory lock is safe. However, it may come with a performance hit in some scenarios, since two threads cannot read the same directory at once. But I am not sure it can happen in GlusterFS. I am a bit disturbed by readdir_r() being planned for deprecation. The Open Group does not say that, or I missed it: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/readdir.html -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz m...@netbsd.org _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@gluster.org http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
