Well, it looks like a bug in the close(2) man page. The man page does not indicate that the advisory record locks on a file are lost on the first close, even if you have multiple fd's for the same file. The kernel code (kern_descrip.c/closef) says that this is correct POSIX behaviour (though it really makes one wonder how the hell such a system could successfully support an NFS lockd, which wants to coelesce lock sets to a single descriptor so it can support a larger number of clients!). Could someone with commit priveledges fix the man page? Regards, Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
