This test is done by trying a lock operation on the file /dev/null. This test can get a wrong result. The result is (probably) if the operating system *in general* supports these locks. However, it does not guarantee that the file system where the lock is really wanted (for instance, in caller raw_check_lock_bytes() in block/file-posix.c) does support these locks. (In theory it could even be that /dev/null, being a device special file, does not support the lock type while a plain file would.) This is in particular relevant for disk images which are stored on a shared file system (my particular use case is the Quobyte file system, which appears not to support these locks). The code as mentioned above is present in the master branch (I checked commit ea8208249d1082eae0444934efb3b59cd3183f05) but also for example on stable-2.11 commit 0982a56a551556c704dc15752dabf57b4be1c640) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1905979/+subscriptions
