Please let me disagree :
20828 is about a bug of new locking scheme with nfs
20858 is not bogus nor a duplicate : letting dba_open managing lock by
default BREAK current scripts :
If db was meant to be opened read only (by all httpd process) and
filesystem have appropiate rights for that (read only), automatic locking
will fail (and dba_open too by the way)
I have undestand that by adding the new "-" flag, it will behave as
previous release.
But why breaking BC ??
By enabling it you may fix existing bugged php script but you may also
break working ones.
I think it would be better to fix bugged scripts by adding a "l" or "d" and
keep BC.
Christophe.
I decided to have locking as default to force users to think about locking.
Even when you can access a db file only in read mode by php locking
is required if any other process may access that file in write mode.
Further more dba is a superset of db and db was considered to always
lock a db file (even though this is done wrong).
And i will look at the NFS part later today or tomorrow.
