To be honest, I'd just assumed that NFS wouldn't do any locking on a read-only export. I haven't seen any issues yet, but we're talking small volume, and the frontline servers mount the directories periodically, run the sa-learn, and then unmount them again. ...Great, now I'm paranoid. Thanks, Ian. ;-) I guess I can go back and force the exports to ne NFS3 instead of NFS4 so I can explicitly state the nolocks option.... -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com "...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!!!" -- Bill McKenna
