> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository

>
> The RepositoryLock mechanism currently used in Jackrabbit uses FileLock. This
> doesn't work on some NFS file system. It looks like only NFS version 4 and
> newer supports locking. Older implementations may throw a IOException "No
> locks available", which means the NFS does not support byte-range locking.
> I propose to add a second locking mechanism, and add a configuration option
> to use it. For example: <FileLocking class="acme" />. This second locking
> mechanism is a cooperative locking protocol that uses a background (watchdog)
> thread and only uses regular file operations.
