Hi folks
I have RH5 as NFS server, exported to SUN and HP.
I try to lock files on the nfs file system and I get error messsage that it
is not possible.
can this be solved?
my exports file looks like:
/share *(rw,no_root_squash)

any idea?
TIA,
Johnny E.

I may very well be wrong, but I don't think NFS implements file locking
at all.

So you mean the only way is to kill lockd on nfs server?

My understanding is that it does not, but that there are various hacks
using dotfile, or a daemon called lockd that can be used to work around
this. I know nothing about them however, just that when mail is delivered
and/or read over NFS it becomes important to implement file locking.
