I'm sure this is not true. It doesn't make sense.
File locking is done in the file-system layer.
The file system layer sees a RAID device as just ``a block device''.
It doesn't know whether it's a RAID, a normal disk, or a floppy.
In other words, it would probably be quite difficult to make the RAID
system influence file locking, and I sincerely doubt that it does.
Why would it ??
