access collision with shared file system

cy163 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-02-2008

Hello ALL,

In my system, there are 14 machines running the same version of Linux RHEL4. The 14 machines use a NFS file system, i.e., a shared file system.

My question is that if the programs in individual machines can access a common file simutaneously. Or, they have to access the file in a sequentially.

In my application,the common file is existing, and only read-only operation may occur on it.

Thanks,

Nah, you'll be ok. Just make sure you are maintaining locks if you want to read and write the file without unexpected results.
