As an aside, an additional testing option for OFD locks is the multilock test tool that is in the nfs-ganesha project. In preparation to use OFD locks in Ganesha, I added them to multilock to check them out, and that incidentally also allows testing how the NFS client and server work when OFD locks are taken on a file from an NFS mount.
