Hi guys.

I'm doing a minimal user space 9P implementation for a special
distributed network storage. One of the features missing on the 9P
protocol is file locking. Do you know why it was kept outside? Or am I
missing something?

So far my plan to extend is to have messages mimicking fcntl, but
maybe that's not the best way to get it done. Did anyone work on
locking and would like to share their experience or opinion?

Cheers.

Alejo
