ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
macOS 10.13.4 using:

Java version "1.8.0_171"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode)


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Taking a second lock on a ExFAT or MS-DOS (FAT) formatted disk using macOS 10.13.4 always results in a OverlappingFileLockException. If I use DiskUtily and format the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled) I don't get this issue. If I plug the same drive into a Windows 10 machine I don't get the issue. It's just macOS with ExFAT or MS-DOS (FAT).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Using DiskUtility, format an external drive to ExFAT or MS-DOS (FAT). Update the filePath variable to be the root of your drive and run the attached program.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Program to print:

filePath: /Volumes/SAMSUNG_T5/a/file.txt
Got lock: sun.nio.ch.FileLockImpl[0:9223372036854775807 exclusive valid]
filePath: /Volumes/SAMSUNG_T5/b/file.txt
Got lock: sun.nio.ch.FileLockImpl[0:9223372036854775807 exclusive valid]

ACTUAL -
Unable to take the second lock:

filePath: /Volumes/SAMSUNG_T5/a/file.txt
Got lock: sun.nio.ch.FileLockImpl[0:9223372036854775807 exclusive valid]
filePath: /Volumes/SAMSUNG_T5/b/file.txt
