Samba does byte range locking itself, because the Windows semantics of those
locks is quite different from posix semantics. By default the resulting lock
ranges are handed down to the posix file system. If you share AFS file space
with Samba you need to set 'posix locking = no', as AFS will not be able to
accept the fcntl locks.
