Hi all,
Suppouse that we have 3 nodes (All of them are gulm servers) that mounts a GFS shared filesystem in /raid. The directory structure is the next:
         /raid
         |-/node1dir
         |-/node2dir
And suppouse that the node1 writes files only in node1dir and node2 only in node2dir while node3 reads files from both directories.
My question is:
If node1 fails (then it will fenced) while it was writting a file in node1dir, could be able node3 to read a file in node1dir (not the file that node1 was just writting when had failed)?
