Does anyone have experience with using Openstack Swift object storage with s3fs and having multiple write mounts accessing the same file(s) at the same time?
The man page for s3, for example: https://linux.die.net/man/1/s3fs has this paragraph:
"Multi User capability While it is possible to share s3 buckets among multiple users, the current data consistency model for Amazons S3 service prevent the safe usage of multiple mounts from multiple users. While s3fs will currently allow multiple mounts, data corruption may result from such activity. A future release will contain a locking mechanism to safely guard against multiple read-write mounts. multiple read-only mounts following a single read-write mount is safe, but will not reflect changes made by the writeable mount to any of the file or filesystem metadata, limiting its usefulness there"
Is the locking mechanisim mentioned above implemented yet?
