:Hello,
:
:I have run into the proverbial brick wall. I am the administrator of
:a fairly busy electronic commerce Web site, www.ftd.com. Because of
:the demand placed on a single server, I implemented a load balancing
:solution that utilizes NFS in the back end. The versions of FreeBSD
:that I have tested (2.2.7 and 3.0) do not support exclusive advisory
:locks over NFS. Last week I was directed to Terry Lambert's Web page
:on the freebsd.org Web server. He makes available several patches
:for the kernel sources that supposedly fix the locking bugs.
:...
I think Terry's stuff addressed kernel bugs. In order for locking
to work between NFS hosts, rpc.lockd needs to be implemented and
nobody has taken up the task yet. It's been a thorn in FreeBSD's
side for a while now. The RPC framework is in place, but none of
the routine have been implemented yet.
-Matt
