Hi,

If you still think about record locking, you are on the wrong way.
I think about locking the whole device, not a record.
And i do not think that any existing locking mechanism
in Linux is able to perform this.
Yes, that would work if you could do it. But you can't have multiple
independent paths to the device. This can be solved by providing a
device lock which works for any path, or not allowing multiple paths.
I'm not sure Solaris handles this, either. If you used mknode to create
multiple inodes for the same major/minor device, I wonder if you would
get the same problems. It may be case that Solaris applications just
don't create the problme than the o/s solving it.
