[Gluster-users] lock xlator question

Hi everyone,

I just want to understand how the lock xlator handles client failures.
Say one client uses fcntl() to lock a file for write using mandatory
lock, and later it crashes. Is there a lock expiration in lock xlator
to deal with this situation so that others can lock the file later on?
Or everybody is pretty much locked out?

thanks,
- cheng
