File locked with only readers

The process monitor trace contains the file locked with only readers status code. What does this mean? The following content is taken from the sysinternals forum.

======================================

This is not a failure code, it's actually a success code.

 

The Memory Manager (MM) callinto the file systems to acquire locks at section creation time and this just allows the file system to pass added information back to the MM.

This one means, "I have locked the file for section creation and there is currently no one with write access to the file. "mm can then know from this that the section data is prevented from changing while the lock is held.

So, I 'd say that if you're seeing this as a point of failure in the traces you're barking up the wrong tree at the moment.
