FreeBSD doesn't support NFS file locking (some goes for other free UN*Xes and some commercial ones as well). > Btw, are ESDI drives being supported on FreeBSD 2.0.ish versions?

I'm using the same geometry with the 2.0.ish versions > as with the 1.1.5.1 version. ESDI drives are supported under 2.0.5 and later but not 2.0. 2.0 lacked bad144 handling. You _could_ get away with using ESDI (or other ST506 style drives) under 2.0 if you had perfect media. ESDI drives with perfect media are pretty rare. :) I used an ESDI under 2.0.5 successfully for quite awhile.
