Interesting, because afaiu, in recent kernels reading /proc/locks line-wise should not yield broken records, as the code in fs/locks.c uses the seq_file abstraction. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5713451/is-it-safe-to-parse-a-proc-file/5880485#5880485. What is the kernel version you are seeing that on? - Thomas -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
