- Hmm, once I started the lockd, and statd, and enabled the flag in the
- kernel, nfs worked just fine. Without the startup, every nfs file
- would end up as being locked, no doubt because the lockf, flock, ...
- calls were failing. Maybe you should try eliminating file locking
- under CAP, and see if your NFS problems go away. If they do tell your
- vendor to fix their nfs locking code.
