This is another of those "can't be bothered cos the line length reaches from here to "de Gierbrug" (~2 km vogelvlucht, op de fiets, autorijden of wandelen). However; NFS has always been a bugbear because of any lockfiles. Did anyone try SMB (like Samba 3) for this kind of crash yet, and if so, what was your experience? > I have been using Evolution for many years and "killev" has always cured any crash, > but not in this case.

How could 'killev' (dead and gone, but restored by me on my Evo 1.4.5) help dead lockfiles on an NFS mount? > The current solution is execute "rm -rf ~/.gconf*/*lock" Quite.
