Locking is always a problem over NFS :-/ It's one of the reasons I'm using maildirs instead of normal happy mboxes. Theoretically - correct me if I'm wrong - file locks shouldn't matter with maildirs as once a file is written, there's not much chance of it having to be written again, let alone by more than one process? How would one verify that NFS locking is causing pain? There's some NFS debugging stuff in NOTES... I'm willing to try anything to help fix this :-) - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't CC me, I am philip@paeps.cx subscribed to the list.
