12.8 Lock-Unlock Cache (16) command
The Lock-Unlock Cache (16) command requests that the device server disallow or allow logical blocks within
the specified range to be removed from the cache memory by the device server's cache replacement algo-
rithm. Locked logical blocks may be written to the medium when modified, but a copy of the modified logical
block shall remain in the cache memory.
Multiple locks may be in effect from more than one application client. Locks from different application clients
may overlap. An unlock of an overlapped area does not release the lock of another initiator.
