I've identified that the problem is at the nfs system, which now has
interoperability problem.
pc1 exports ~/Mail with nfs-utils-0.3.3-3mdk
pc2 mounts it with nfs-utils-1.0.1-1mdk
I use mutt on pc2, which complains "cannot monitor pc1" in syslog, and
"No locks available" in mutt.
I'm studying nfs documents and plan to upgrade pc1's nfs to 1.0.1 -
though I'm not sure it's the very solution or not.
If any advice available, please help and let me know asap. After all, I
just want to get my mutt work. I don't really like to study nfs.
thanks,
charlie
