[OpenAFS] Re: byte-range lock errors

[chas williams - CONTRACTOR]

Ignoring the actual byte-range locking issue, this is actually a
separate issue.  OpenAFS does try to rate limit these messages but only
when they come from the same process/pid consistently.  Unfortunately,
firefox appears to be threaded (in some fashion) and the multiple
writers keep tripping over each other with regard to rate limiting of
the messages.

[5441467.772951] afs: byte-range locks only enforced for processes on this =
machine (pid 29952 (firefox), user 1025).
[5441467.786400] afs: byte-range locks only enforced for processes on this =
machine (pid 30011 (mozStorage #8), user 1025).
[5441469.561118] afs: byte-range locks only enforced for processes on this =
