    Description

      Thought it is clearly stated in current http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/4.x/Features/Clustering/Cluster-File-Handlers documentation that *eZ DFS* File Handler //is required// for *NFS-based* architectures, the fact that both eZ FS and eZ FS2 are introduced and explained in this //Cluster File Handlers// page can lead to some mis-interpretation among users.

      This documentation page should be reviewed so that there is no room for mistakes when it come to select the proper file handler to use with each architecture.

      Solution implementers should know that, although all might seems to work fine when a NFS is combined with eZFS2, for instance, this solution is bound to produce undesired results somewhere along the line.
      This is true even when NFS uses the latest versions over high-class hardware since both eZFS as eZFS2 strongly rely on file's timestamp information and the accuracy of this data is not guaranteed on network shares.
