Salut Michel ;)

That's what I was looking for (Mandatory option in order to perform 
STREAM). Without Mandatory HAVP works fine but for client "performance" 
or latency while displaying web pages - I was begging if anyone has 
found a solution for activating Mandatory locking (+STREAM) for AVP.

I am not sure that Mandatory itself is required, HAVP only creates a 
temporary file but check if the dedicated mount point IS mounted with 
MAND...

(I am afraid I am not really clear... lol)

A++ ;)
