3.5.1 Matrix Server Release Notes

PolyServe Release Notes 8

Server from one server node to another. MxFS-Linux now returns a

persistent file handle.

A client may observe similar behavior if it mounts one PSFS filesystem

from two or more different Virtual NFS Servers and accesses one file

through multiple mounts. This cannot be resolved by MxFS-Linux.

Clients may choose to access the file through a single mount, or to use

techniques such as sync(2) or file locking to synchronize access to the

file.
