Hi,

I just tried to do a "make installworld" with DESTDIR set
to a directory on an NFS server.  It broke like this:

===> lib/libcom_err/doc (install)
lockf -k /mnt/data/6.1-TEST/original-tree/usr/share/info/dir  install-info --quiet  
--defsection="Programming & development tools."  --defentry="* libcom_err: 
(com_err).        A Common Error Description Library for UNIX."  com_err.info 
/mnt/data/6.1-TEST/original-tree/usr/share/info/dir
lockf: cannot open /mnt/data/6.1-TEST/original-tree/usr/share/info/dir: 
Operation not supported
*** Error code 73
Stop in /usr/src/lib/libcom_err/doc.
*** Error code 1

Am I missing something?  Is installworld over NFS supported
at all?  I could swear I have done it before ...

Yes.  From build(7):

:      installworld     Install everything built by a preceding buildworld step
:                       into the directory hierarchy pointed to by make(1) vari-
:                       able DESTDIR.
: : If installing onto an NFS file system, make sure that
:                       rpc.lockd(8) is running on both client and server.  See
:                       rc.conf(5) on how to make it start at boot time.

Well my problem was that the system I wanted to overwrite had a defect CDrom, but was still running something like 4.x without rpc.lockd really working. Why don't know ....

But since I was desperate to upgrade I stopped the installprocess to replace lockf with a dud shellscript. That got me thru.

I'm sure it is needed for one reason or another, but would be nice it one could overrule it.
