Flock to Fedora 2023 is starting tomorrow, 2nd of August, and the Ansible Community will be there in Cork, Ireland!
Join Don Naro and @maxgot for their talks on Wednesday!
12:00 IST on Wednesday is all Ansible at Flock, you get to choose between Ansible in Fedora[1] and Scaling the Ansible Community[2]. Can't go wrong with either!
@gwmngilfen will also be there to talk all things Ansible Community!
This is my expression when local (and exclusive) flock() locks on a Linux NFS server don't conflict with POSIX locks obtained over NFS through lockd/NLM/etc. Because these NFS locks may be from flock() on clients.
Augh. This is robot logic and it means 'don't run anything on your NFS servers'.
Interesting. Another one. At this rate I'm going to have to factor out a list so that I don't keep laboriously repeating the names.
It's worth your having a HISTORY section on your manual page. Speaking from experience of reading HISTORY sections, 20 years from now, people will quietly thank you.
The interoperability problems are significant. H. Peter Anvin's flock(1) uses flock(2), whereas you are using fcntl(2).
Ironically, this means that #Linux is your worst nightmare, because #Illumos and the BSDs guarantee that those two will (locally) interlock, whereas Linux doesn't and the world has thus got two #flock tools on Linux that don't interlock.
That's going to be a #Unix StackExchange answer somewhen.
