Thank you so much, Eric for the pointer to the patches. I did though run into some problems. I am running version 2.2.7 of FreeBSD. Most of the files that needed patching were not patchable because the diffs provided are not same as my original files on the system therefore most of the attempted patches ended up creating reject files. The diffs were very different than my originals therefore difficult to do by hand editting. Fine, no problem, I just downloaded the revisions that the patches expect from the CVS repository, ran patch on these files and replaced the origianls. This time the patch command completed successfully, creating newly patched files minus the rejects. I replaced the old files with the newly patched files, attempted to build a new kernel, but to no avail. Many compile errors. After attempting to fix some of the compile errors I realized I was in trouble. What I need to know is if anyone else has had the same problem with these patches? Any success with version 2.2.7? I'll try again if I know someone was successful. Btw, I originally installed from the Walnut Creek CD (does that make a difference?). I plan on upgrading our system to version 3.0 just so that these patches can be implemented. My FreeBSD machinces have become virtually useless without NFS locking. This is sad considering what a great operating system it is otherwise. Considering these patches were developed in February, I'm wondering why they aren't incorporated in the current releases? Thank you, Victor Eric Patterson said: : : Check out http://www.freebsd.org/~terry/ : : You'll find just the patches you're looking for there. I assume you're = : running 2.2.7.
