        <para>This option <emphasis>may</emphasis> be useful for read-only

        filesystems which <emphasis>may</emphasis> not need locking (such as

        CDROM drives), although setting this parameter of <constant>no</constant>

        <para>Be careful about disabling locking either globally or in a
