I tried once more, and this time with /dev/bus/usb only. How can there be five processes with the same file opened?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# lsof |grep /dev/bus/ ifdhandle 26749 root 3u CHR 189,273 51693 /dev/bus/usb/003/018 ifdhandle 26761 root 3u CHR 189,273 51693 /dev/bus/usb/003/018 ifdhandle 26765 root 3u CHR 189,273 51693 /dev/bus/usb/003/018 ifdhandle 26775 root 3u CHR 189,273 51693 /dev/bus/usb/003/018 ifdhandle 26819 root 3u CHR 189,273 51693 /dev/bus/usb/003/018 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# all of them open it with O_EXCL? does O_EXCL not work standalone? should I use flock or something like that instead to prevent several processes accessing the same file? Or are usb device file somehow special and those methods do not work? Thanks for your help.
