Does anyone know exactly what the -l lock_table_size option for
Fsys really does? Documentation says “The number of locks that
can be simultaneously outstanding” What is Fsys locking? What
does it do if this value is zero?

Thanks,
Rob

If you lock a file via fcntl(), an entry is added to the table.
You can see how many locks are in use with the fsysinfo utility.
sopen() may also add locks (I have never used this call).
