Your question isn't parsing, but I'll try to answer anyways. flock and fcntl locks can be implemented. (and have been.) However they, by themselves, are insuficent for creating a clustered filesystem. But since those are advisory locks, they might exist, and even then they can be ignored. So there might be some in the lock space, but there will mostly be gfs locks. -- Michael Conrad Tadpol Tilstra (did i spell that right?)
