</span></font><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px">Does Gluster provide POSIX compatible file locking transparently with multiple clients simultaneously trying to lock files on a Gluster share with the native Gluster client? </span><br>
<font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><br></span></font><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px">A lot of the code in our application framework relies on file locking for synchronization. I was running across some errors, and wanted to rule out file locking issues – hence this question. </span><br>

This translator can be added using the config files as shown in the example at <a href="http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Translators/features/locks">http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Translators/features/locks</a>. However, this method of using config files doesn't seem to be available in newer versions of Gluster, and I couldn't find an equivalent way of using this translator using the command line. Can someone confirm if I need to use this translator, and how I could enable it with Gluster 3.3?</div>
