AFS does not support byte-range locking within files (i.e. via lockf()
or fcntl() calls, although these calls will return success). Therefore
your options are to:
1. Reconfigure/move whatever code/applications are trying to lock files
in AFS so they lock files on local disk instead.
2. Rewrite those apps to do the same if 1) doesn't work for you.
3. Obtain an AFS source license and spend some time figuring out how to
add byte-range locking to files (probably a hard problem).
4. Minimize your console window, have a cup of tea, and relax.
I have an application which tries to do this. I use the fourth
approach, and tolerate an occasional crash upon exit from the app.
