Mono is not supporting a way to lock files for Linux:

Any idea to solve or workaround this problem?

Most of the times flock() is used when we need to prevent really bad things to happen.

sjmelia/flock uses pinvoke and linux/win32 only ... we would need a nuget package targeting netstandard1.5 and net46
