Re: [sqlite] SQLite incompatible with NFS?

[John Stanton]

Your problem is with NFS.  Maybe you can get a fix or upgrade for your 
particular NFS installation so that file locking works reliably.

Hi,
I have been trying to get an application that utilizes SQLite to run on our 
system, but according to the application developers it fails because SQLite 
is incompatible with NFS and thus cannot work on NFS-mounted volumes.
Attempts at locating this bug in the SQLite database has been futile, so I 
wondered if someone could kindly point me towards the bug ID of this problem?

The application in question is KDE's digiKam, and the bugs are described in 


Yes this is a main sqlite problem. Look here :

I'm a bit puzzled by this, as all our clients are diskless and thus rely on 
NFS for both /home and other volumes, and we run multiple other SQLite-based 
applications without trouble.

Any insight regarding the status and progress of this bug would be greatly 
appreciated!

Thank you.
