Summary:                    [patch][post 1.4] Configurable lock types for
ast_lock_path - allows voicemail storage on SMB/CIFS mounts
Description: 
This patch adds a "lockmode = {lockfile|flock}" parameter to the [options]
section of asterisk.conf. This allows you to set which type of locking
ast_lock_path() uses.

It defaults to the current behaviour (ie. create a random file, hardlink
it to dir/.lock), which isn't quite NFS-safe, but is close.

The flock mode instead creates (if it doesn't already exist) a dir/lock
file, and then flock()s it - this allows it to lock paths on filesystems
that don't support filenames starting with "." and/or hardlinks, eg.
SMB/CIFS mounted filesystems.

Patches:

nic_bellamy (license 213)

Add support for configurable file locking methods.  The default is
"lockfile",
which is the old behavior.  There is an additional option, "flock", which
is
intended for use in situations where the lockfile method will not work,
such as
with SMB/CIFS mounts.
