Hi, Recently, I've been playing with booting a 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD-sparc64 machine via tftp/nfsroot. The problem that I encountered was that the machine was unable to lock files in it's / nfs-mounted partition, and thus I would miss a large amount of functionality (such as having users :)) divine# passwd Changing local password for root New Password: Retype New Password: passwd: could not lock the passwd file: : Operation not supported My NFS server is a 4.7-RELEASE machine running the following daemons in order to perform NFS: portmap nfsd -u -t -n 4 mountd -r rpc.statd rpc.lockd According to release notes for 4.7, server-side NFS locking is supposed to be functional. 5.0-DP2's release notes say that client-side as well as server-side locking is functional. So in theory, I should not be having the above issues. Does anyone have a working setup with NFS locking tested and working? Can anyone offer any advice on this?
