Hello,

It was me, bringing up the locking issue again by asking Franco Broi

Because the files being locked may not be accessible by the kernel?
I dont't think that this must be useless, because the fuse filesystem
can handle the lock request.

What is currently done when a process uses a flock() or fcntl() within
a fuse filesystem? -> return "???"; :-)
