This last week I had been working on a test network to test out 6.1

across the rpc.lockd issues that have been discussed earlier.
Our production setup has diskless clients running KDE, which due to
this
bug is now dead on 6.1. I also have my mail server delivering messages
to a file server via NFS. I even have servers booting diskless with
NFS
provided file systems... all of which are dead on 6.1.
The last discussion our bug updates I've seen on this issue were about
3
months ago. This leaves me with a number of questions I hope can be
answered here on this list.
Is NFS a big deal for most other users, or am I out here on the fringe
using it as much as I do?
Is anyone working on a fix for this? If so, is there any kind of time
frame where this fix might be MFC'd to 6-STABLE?
I guess I'm still just a bit stunned that a bug this obvious not only
found it's way into the STABLE branch, but is still there. Maybe it's
not as obvious as I think, or not many folks are using it? All I know
for sure here is that if I had upgraded to 6.1 my network would have
been crippled.
Try 6.1-STABLE, especially make sure you have
$FreeBSD: src/usr.sbin/rpc.lockd/kern.c,v 1.16.2.1 2006/06/02

for usr.sbin/rpc.lockd/kern.c, and see if this helps.
I am running STABLE on all my test boxes, and the problem is very much
there. It's not everything that locks up though. I'm able to bring X
up with twm, but unable to launch any Gnome or KDE applications without
them being stranded in a lock state.
I sure would have loved for your suggestion to be correct. For what
it's worth, all the boxes I'm working with are on STABLE no more than a
week old. I ran fresh build worlds on all of them before getting the
rest of my configs going.
Thanks,
Hello, I run my client with the -L mount option. This makes NFS locks
local to the client, which is a workaround for me. If you depend on locks
enforced on the server it wil not work.
