Grigory- My understanding of the current implementation of rpc.lockd is that it is a facade and simply tells the client requesting a lock "sure kid, you have a lock" and then does nothing. "David E. Cross" <crossd@cs.rpi.edu> has been working to implement a real server-side rpc.lockd. You may want to contact him. The first go 'round failed the nfs connectathon tests, but the second version purportedly addresses these issues with all but SGI boxen. However, it was delayed pending some system header changes... <wild_speculation> Since the merger with BSDi, FreeBSD hopefully will be getting both client and server-side locking (of course, this will appear first in 5.0-CURRENT at some point) along with some nice SMP support (fingers firmly crossed). </wild_speculation> Hope this helps, S ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean O'Connell Email: sean@stat.Duke.EDU Institute of Statistics and Decision Sciences Phone: (919) 684-5419 Duke University Fax: (919) 684-8594 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
