Comment (by bonefish):
There is no kind of locking (on Haiku) that would prevent `dd` from
overwriting a file. We only have advisory locking (`fcntl()`, `flock()`).
Not sure if Unixes provide any other type -- at least I've never
encountered a file I couldn't move, remove, or overwrite on Linux (unlike
on Windows).
