perhaps wrongly, i'd assumed that the posix standard
implied some semantics in defining its file API, and
ron was referring to those. perhaps it defines less
than i assume - i've not studied it.

i was alluding to this sentence from the paper:

: GFS provides a familiar file system interface, though it
: does not implement a standard API such as POSIX.
