 The 2.1.x kernel does have support for NFS locking but is still under
 development.

To use that, in addition to 2.1.x, you need some utilities. These are
packaged as `knfs' and are available in project/experimental.

 No, not in HAMM.  Or in any Linux distribution I know of.  Some folks were
 working on adding support for NFS locking but I've lost the URL.

It is described at http://www.linuxhq.com/pgmup21.html .

NFS/Network locking available?

1998-06-30 Thread Ossama Othman
Hi,

I am exporting some ext2 filesystems from my Debian box to a Solaris
machine.  While the export works, the Solaris automounter complains about
network locking not being available on my Debian box.  Is network locking
supported in hamm?  If so, how do I enable it?

Thanks,
-Ossama

No, hamm use the standard Linux 2.0.3x kernel and those kernels have
no support for NFS locking.

The 2.1.x kernel does have support for NFS locking but is still under
development. I expect a 2.2 Linux kernel release in 6 months or so ..

Mike.

I wouldn't recommended using Linux NFS as a server for Solaris.  It
works find for serving read-only filesystems but is worthless for
read-write.  This is a major problem with Linux and prevents us from
deploying Linux more widely in our company.
