Hi, Reading the mod_jk (1.2.25) compilation documentation for --enable-flock it says:
"In case the operating system supports flock system call use this flag to enable this faster locks that are implemented as system call instead emulated by GNU C library. However those locks does not work on NFS mounted volumes, so you can use "--enable-flock" during compile time to force the flocks() calls." + this text seems to say to use --enable-flock to tell mod_jk to use the flock system call - if supported. Then it says that NFS does not support the flock system call. Thus it seems to me that correct sentence whould be: "However those locks do not work on NFS mounted volumes, hence do not set --enable-flock during compile time". ./configure says: Linux -> checking for flock... yes Solaris -> checking for flock... no So i guess this is a non-issue for Solaris. + Is it correct that --enable-flock only affects the handling of JkShmFile? thus you would mitigate the potential issue(s) if you move this file to a local disk /tmp while the apache and logfiles can remain on the NFS mount.
