It would seem that postfix and other assorted mail programs have no issue with accessing /mail on an nfs share but everything residing in /www don't seem to like it at all. I have no choice but to leave this as it is and set up a similar arrangement on my new server. Thank you to everyone who responded. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Judd [mailto:tajudd@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, October 31, 2009 10:51 AM To: david@farmington.k12.mo.us Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: issues with email migration On 10/31/09, david@farmington.k12.mo.us wrote: > only one issue with that.

Not if file locking and the daemons take care of everything like they should. Remember, file locking is mandatory for some things, especially mbox files, password files, or anything else that requires exclusive access to a file. If two systems try to access the same locked file, the 2nd will be told it won't be able to get an exclusive lock, because the 1st already has it locked. You're on the right track. Keep it going.
