NFS locking: lockf freezes (rpc.lockd problem?)

2006-08-27 Thread Michael Abbott
I've been trying to make some sense of the NFS locking issue. I am trying to run # make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt where /mnt is an NFS mount on a FreeBSD 4.11 server, but I am unable to get past a call to `lockf`. On this mailing list I've seen a thread starting with this message:
