Maybe we've got proper file locking now. It's a while since
I read up on
it, we used to have optional advisory locks, and advisory
locks are next
to no locks.
I've just read these two files:
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.18/Documentation/locks.txt
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.18/Documentation/mandatory.txt
and concluded we have proper mandatory locks on files where
we say we
want them. Except that, being optional, it's not very
satisfactory but
it could explain the problem with the ,nfs* files.
