That sounds reasonable. It looks like ufs and ext2fs are currently doing the locking and nfs and coda aren't. The only other filesystem that implements the link method is unionfs, which conditionally does the lock only in certain cases and does some complex lock manipulations that I don't fully understand. BTW, I noticed that a number of filesystems have reimplemented vop_eopnotsupp() and called it foofs_link().
