Heh, maybe yes, but I can't imagine such an imlementation. The
filesystem must know about locks, how else do you prevent adding a
locked object to a commit txn? Of course, you could put an explicit
check outsude the FS, but that seems like an excruciatingly painful hack.

I can handle pain, but not that much pain. :-)
