The swamp - mapping Win32 byte range locks to POSIX
- Win32 byte range locks seem to be easy to map into POSIX.
- Approach chosen in all Samba versions 2.0.x and before.
- Depends upon locking conflicts being handled at client redirector.
- Not possible to give exact Windows semantics.
- Samba 2.2.x and 3.0 have correct Win32 semantics.
- "Correct" here means 'what NT does'. Has little relation to Win32 documentation or the spec.
