Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed in which locks for shared data are acquired by specifying a pathname for the shared data. One embodiment, among others, includes a method for locking shared data. The method includes the steps of receiving a first request to acquire a lock for a first pathname, storing the first pathname in a lock store, searching the lock store for a corresponding pathname in response to a further request to acquire a lock for a second pathname, and if the second pathname corresponds to the first pathname in the lock store then denying the further request to acquire the lock for the second pathname.
