We discovered a curious case on a specific hosting environment: the `FlockStorage` (or `LockHandler` in previous Symfony versions) could never get a file lock on **existing files**. So if you run a script for the first time and the lock file did not exist yet, the `FlockStorage` could get a lock on that file just fine. However on the second and subsequent runs, `FlockStorage` could _never_ get a file lock anymore. You can follow the discussion [here](contao/core-bundle#1551) (if you speak German).

We have been using this little script to confirm the issue on the hosting environment:
```php
$fileName = __DIR__ . '/file.lock';

if (!$handle = @fopen($fileName, 'r')) {
    $handle = fopen($fileName, 'x');
}

if (!$handle) {
    echo "Could not open $fileName\n";
    exit;
}

if (flock($handle, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB)) {
    echo "Got a lock on $fileName\n";
    flock($handle, LOCK_UN | LOCK_NB);
} else {
    echo "Could not get a lock on $fileName\n";
}
```
Whenever `file.lock` already existed prior to running the script, a lock could not be made.

After contacting the hosting provider's support on this they confirmed the issue and told us they are using **Solaris** instead of a Linux environment. And this is supposedly why it does not work. Instead you have to use `'r+'` instead of `'r'` for `fopen`.

I was able to confirm that changing from `'r'` to `'r+'` fixes the issue. However I am wondering who's actually at fault here. Is it Solaris? PHP? The compiled PHP version under Solaris? The hosting provider's operating system configuration?

### Footnotes

[1] Previously one failed test on the first run and two failing tests on the second run with the proposed changes:
```
1) Symfony\Component\Lock\Tests\Store\FlockStoreTest::testSaveSanitizeName
Symfony\Component\Lock\Exception\LockStorageException: fopen(C:\Users\[…]\AppData\Local\Temp/sf.-php-echo-hello-word-.Sz2dDSf.lock)
: failed to open stream: Permission denied
```
```
2) Symfony\Component\Lock\Tests\Store\FlockStoreTest::testSaveWithDifferentKeysOnSameResources
Symfony\Component\Lock\Exception\LockStorageException: fopen(C:\Users\[…]\AppData\Local\Temp/sf.Symfony-Component-Lock-Tests-Store-
AbstractStoreTest-testSaveWithDifferentKeysOnSameResources5b2b5f00872538.64807920.2u9bH+a.lock): failed to open stream: Permission denied
```
The latter failed both on the first run and on the second run.

After the [proposed changes](#27668 (comment)) from @nicolas-grekas everything works fine 👍
