I have the following line from an AIX truss I ran:
kopen("path/to/file", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NSHARE|O_DSYNC|O_LARGEFILE,S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR|S_IRGRP|S_IROTH) (sleeping...)
I'm assuming the sleeping... means we are waiting here for an extended period of time (after 10 minutes I kill it). What would cause this to hang? The only thing I can think of is that the file is locked but then would it hang or just return some error code?
