It seems like an "on the fly" scan across all possible filesystems would be really slow. I can't see how you can escape having a cross reference that gets rebuilt periodically. No one is going to want to wait a minute in interactive mode for a response. No one else has encountered the issue that you can't tell what file a lock is being set on? Some people can tell from the key I suppose, at time, but many files can share a similar key. It seems odd to me, that after twenty years, we still have this issue in Universe.
