<div>We will not have a situation where we need to access the same file from different clients.</div>
<div>We are looking for a web application which will be deployed on 2 servers. Both these servers will mount the gluster volume and this mount point will act as the data directory for the applications. </div>
<div>The users will login to the load balanced application servers and the application creates separate folders for each user.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My doubt is if multiple users login to both the application servers and read/ write data. Will thus effect any synchronisation of data between the underlying bricks.</div>

<br>
<br>
<div>Just as if you had multiple applications using the same file on a local filesystem, you'll want to make sure your application uses standard POSIX locking.<br>
