Yes, thanks a lot. I've read it, understood, maybe this whole locking thing should be replaced with a better approach. First you mention in the first blog entry:
"Mandatory locking is available too. It's based on the POSIX locking API but not portable in itself. It's dangerous business and should generally be avoided in cleanly written software. " Now, what do you mean? I think that mandatory locking is actually better. A lock by definition is a way to prevent other processes/threads to use a specific range in a file. What's the use of it when it's not mandatory? I've read the paper: http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/mandatory-locking.txt which is clear to me. Stef
