no, unfortunately not. It's several months of work. I haven't been
able to continue working on this in my spare time and so far there's 
also no real interest in the industry to fund development of this 
feature in Samba.

My Persistent Handles WIP code does some clever tricks to combine 
existing ctdb semantics to provide per record persistency. So the real 
problem is not really at the CTDB layer, it's more at implemeting 
everything 100% safe and correct in the SMB server with tests.
