I'm currently using kernel 2.2.10 with the kernel-space NFS server and all the NFS patches from /usr/doc/knfs. However, I'm still having problems with NFS locking. Recently, WindowMaker on NFS client machines started segfaulting because it was apparently trying to lock some files over NFS. Mutt also has problems because it tries to use fcntl over NFS. Does anyone know if kernel 2.2.12 fixes all these things? It would be very VERY nice if the kernel could somehow intercept all these incompatible fcntl calls and change them into flock or something that would work over NFS. Has anyone been able to find any solutions other than local symlinks or specifying "nolock" in /etc/fstab? Locking is there for a reason, I'd really like to get it to work as opposed to just ignoring the problem with nolock.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Max
