This is partially not true. Yes, flock() doesn't work over NFS to an ext2/3 filesystem, but at the least, but it works just fine to ReiserFS. Dunno its status to other FSs, but its not working is not an absolute, but rather a function of the being-NFS'ed-from FS [that is, the one running the NFSdaemon that is actually doing all the work]. Of course, knowing that doesn't make it useable for something like sqlite, where, indeed, flock *IS* broken for the default/near universal FS, and so SQLite could hardly depend on it working. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
