The short answer is, on Windows, you will find improved (see the release
notes) locking semantics in OpenAFS 1.5.x. The same capability will be
available for Unix-like platforms soon.

(Jeff Altman's roadmaps for the Windows client are a very helpful source
of information.)

I work for a small publishing company whose production path includes
Linux, Windows and Macs. We are looking for an eventual replacement
for Samba and NFS. OpenAfs is our first choice. I have setup an Afs
server and several Linux, Windows-98 and Xp clients. Afs seems to do
the job nicely except for one major "gotcha." We cannot get file
locking to work from the Windows clients. Apparently, this has been a
long-standing issue. My question is "When, if ever, will this be fixed?"
