I think Sun was deliberately fuzzy in their specification of NFS locking in order that they might claim it as a market differentiation point.. :-) > 2) Any work-in-progress that I might assist with?

The prolific Ambassador Lambert may have some back-archives of previous discussions, given that he's been known to save such things.. :) > 3) If not, any pointers to the spec so I can have a go at implementing > from scratch?

I don't know of anything off the top of my head, though I'm sure that someone else will chime in if they have something in the archives (see above :). I do know that such an effort would come as a very welcome one on several quarters.. Thanks! Jordan
