Folks, Could someone *please* take a look at the NFS lock packets *on the wire*? Without this, it becomes significantly harder to debug the failure. "NFS locking doesn't work" isn't useful information. What version of Solaris? What version of NFS? UDP or TCP? What portrange? Did the two machines negotiate the correct versions? Did rpcbind work things out correctly? Which side hung (Solaris or FreeBSD)? What actual commands and messages got transmitted? If you *really* want this fixed, go get the Connectathon 2002 test suites for NFS, run them, and report the failures as bug reports. Use the link: http://www.cthon.org/nfstests.html to find the Cthon 2002 tests. As a side note, FreeBSD-current used to be the best of the open-source systems with respect to NFS compliance. At one point, it passed all the Connectathon 2001 tests. -a On Sat, 14 Sep 2002, Kris Kennaway wrote: > On Sat, Sep 14, 2002 at 10:49:28AM -0700, Matthew Jacob wrote: > > > > I spent, on and off, 10 days trying to replace my current -stable > > desktop/test machine with a -current one- I've now given up and gone > > back to -stable, but my experience/needs may not be typical. > > I upgraded my desktop to 5.0 a few weeks ago; I did it by source > upgrade, so I didn't get to test sysinstall, but it has all worked > perfectly - except for the NFS locking problems, which I also see (see > my mail from yesterday).
