Not that I know of. I prefer to work with large client caches, so we
only need to fetch updated data during a hoard walk. And with writeback
caching (write-disconnected) so we push updates to the server in the
background.

I guess this makes me not really notice when a volume happens to have an
exclusive write-lock. All writes happen in the background and most
changes are picked up by the hoard daemon.
