There is a single global locking namespace, unless someone has done something recently and I don't know about it. You can use the OGFS, at least provides some extra safety. We had thoughts of providing a mechanism to allow separate lock namespaces, but it never made it past the "nice to have" list. It would be a Good Thing to add to ODLM. Some thought would be necessary as to how to minimize effects on the API. > > <snip> Peter -- Peter R.
