[Mono-dev] Problems with FileStream.Lock();

[Terry-Watts.com]

Channels are what they seem to call any I/O path.
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/channels/package-summary.html

The actual exception thrown is:
"Lock violation on path 
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/TestDb/Test.Tbl"{System.IO.IOException: Lock 
violation on path /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/TestDb/Test.Tbl
   at System.IO.FileStream.Lock (Int64 position, Int64 length) [0x00000] 
in <filename unknown>:0
   at TrwLinqDb.Streams.LockedStream.Lock () [0x00025] in 
d:\MyWorkSpace\C Sharp\TrwLinqDb\TrwLinqDb\Streams\LockedStream.cs:90 }

Terry
