Ahh, that's unfortunate. I find it extremely unfortunate that so much of the
Windows client is re-implemented, as opposed to shared with the Unix
client. :( Something like the local handling of byte-range locks
should be something
that could be OS independent. But alas.. :(

Quoting Matt Benjamin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Very little, I believe. However, I sent a patch to do something
usefully like a Linux equivalent of this behavior a few months ago,
and Nathan has reviewed it.

Byte-range locking has now been implemented for Windows. The code
has been committed to the cvs head. I hope to backport the changes
to a post 1.4.0 release after it is proven to be stable.

No, patches don't exist. Most useful platform is windows,
and I don't
have much interest in developing for it. Patches would certainly
be welcomed on the windows side
since it is so
negatively impacted by the lack of byte range locks. -- Nathan

Subject: [OpenAFS-devel] byte-range locking
If I understand the existing code correctly, a server process
(I don't know which one -- fileserver?) keeps track of clients that have
exclusive or non-exclusive locks on a file. Clients are
responsible for keeping track of which processes have such locks.
So it looks as though it should be easy to add local byte-range
locking for processes on a single machine. Read locks would be
propagated to the server as shared locks, and write locks would
propagate as exclusive locks, and the byte ranges would be
handled in the local client kernel code.
Does someone already have patches for this perhaps?
