Gang, I upgraded to 6.0-BETA1 for my NFS server yesterday and rpc.lockd stopped working as an immediate result of that. The error being logged is: <timestamp> <host> rpc.lockd: nfslock: No such file or directory Apparently the nfslock pseudo-device is only compiled into the kernel when device nfsclient is present. This would indicate that I don't need rpc.lockd running on the server. However, NFS clients hang when they try to lock files across NFS: bigsur% vi pmap.c *hang* */me typing ^T after a couple of minutes* load: 0.00 cmd: vi 457 [lockd] 0.01u 0.01s 0% 2976k This tells me that NFS locking does not work if rpc.lockd is not running on the server. I could of course add nfsclient to my kernel configuration file, but that annihilates the effort to split the server functionality from the client functionality, so that's no solution. In short: NFS locking is broken again -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel_at_xcllnt.netReceived on Sun Jul 31 2005 - 17:00:25 UTC
