FreeBSD does not have NFS locks (lockd + statd). However, since there is not a coherency protocol in force and your Solaris does client caching, you are in danger of this type of corrupts even going from Solaris to Solaris (this is why Sun recommends mail files always be accessed locally). What are you trying to use this for such that you see an error? Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
