Yes I'm surprised to learn that SQLite is relying on POSIX locks, they're basically impossible to use correctly -- by design. I wonder if things could be reengineered to use BSD locks (flock). I wonder if it's there for portability reasons. This is a clear explanation of the differences https://lwn.net/Articles/586904/ https://lwn.net/Articles/586904/ -- TLDR as an app developer is avoid POSIX locks unless you grok the odd semantics. Also, better things are coming -- I believe that the new lock type mentioned in that article is getting merged for Linux 3.15.
