As far as I remember, we don't query the lock directory's existence, we just try to create it and see whether it fails or not. Since directory creation is supposed to be atomic, even under NFS, I would argue that any NFS implementation that returns based on a cache rather than waiting for the server response is just plain broken. -Larry Jones Nobody knows how to pamper like a Mom. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
