Hi, Dean and all,

How does DMF using DMAPI? If I lauch a DM application to receive/response some data event message(read/write/truncate) on the same MDS on which a DMF server is running, is it possible to bother DMF's job? If it will happen, is there any tips to help designing such a DM application?

Thanks,

Michael

The DMAPI specification does not cover the case of having two independent DMAPI apps that want to see the same events from the same files on the same filesystem. Does that scenario even make sense when you consider the problem that DMAPI was intended to solve?
