Using NFS with objects open for write

These considerations apply to objects that are open for write through any protocol:

While an object is open for write through one IP address, you cannot open it for write through any other IP address.

You can read an object that is open for write from any IP address, even though the object data may be incomplete. A read against the node hosting the write may return more data than a read against any other node.

While an object is open for write, you cannot delete it.

Note: Depending on the timing, the delete request may result in a busy error. In that case, wait one or two seconds and then try the request again.

While an object that’s open for write has no data:

oIt is not WORM

oIt may or may not have a cryptographic hash value

oIt is not subject to retention

oIt cannot have custom metadata

oIt is not indexed

oIt is not replicated
