So I just want to summarize the results of investigation:
1) It is not a regression:
- It never was possible to create a new file on the partition without
overwriting existing one, even OOo2.4 has a problem to create a new document on
this partition
- the OOo file locking mechanics is specified for OOo3.0.x in the way,
that if it is not possible to create a lock file for a document in reliable way,
the document must be opened readonly
- the fact that alien documents ( in this scenario MSOffice-format
documents ) were not locked in OOo3.0 was recognized as a bug, the fix for this
bug let the documents use OOo file locking mechanics, so the problem is now
reproducible for alien documents as well
2) The workaround ignoring file locking is not for OOo3.0.1:
- to workaround the problem a new feature including UI changes is
necessary. It is already implemented in OOo3.1 cws mav43, the cws is already
nominated. A feature can not be integrated in OOo3.0.1.
Based on mentioned points above I would say that this is no showstopper and
would remove issue 93339 from the blocked issues.
Although we have the workaround, I would like to let the bug stay on OOo3.1
open. It could make sense to try to find a way to create a lock file reliably on
the system. Currently I still see no atomic replacement for O_EXCL | O_CREAT
combination in this scenario.
