This is still very dangerous in my opinion. Locking should be done in hardware. Just look at the the problems with locking in NFS. And if somebody comes up with a transaction-based FS, it's not going to use SQL because SQL is ugly. BTW ReiserFS project has transactions in mind to implement in future. --
