hmm. ok, I moved to flock() and now several processes have the same file flock()#ed exclusively, i.e. that does not work either.
next fcntl()? or are device files in any way special when it comes to flock(), fcntl() and friend? I only want to make sure that only one process is talking to some usb device at a time. and it would be nice if the kernel kept the log, so I don't need to worry about cases like "what if the machines crashes / looses power etc. and there is a stale lock file left".
