Subject: MSDOS FS and flock?
Sender: owner-freebsd-fs@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org

I wonder why Emacs' movemail program is not able to move
mail on a MSDOS partion. 
Under Linux this seems to be no problem (or no visible 
problem yet :-)

My guess is that msdosfs does not allow flock().

Questions:
1) Might this be true?
   And if yes, would flock()ing be necessary - the 
   msdosfs code might do such already.

2) Does anyone have a patch to movemail or
   msdosfs? 
  
Regards,
Marc
