Hello!
In article <m0xzU5P-001DCmC@valiant.koehntopp.de> you write: >[...]

Have a look at the fcntl(2) man page. I think Linux has already supported POSIX style locks on parts of files for a long time (since when the version numbers begun with 1., at least) :-)
But I think the thread was about the in kernel locking mechanisms to protect transactions in the filesystem implementation from concurrent operations.
Regards, Felix.
