As far as Linux is concerned the best thing we could do is to use O_EXCL for any open of a device file, as Linux overloadds O_EXCL behavior for block devices so that any other O_EXCL open will be rejected if one has the file open. But that might be a major pain to find into the cross platform framework.. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
