So, in a discussion a while back, it was established that file
locking is basically broken under NFS. Does this mean that it is
simply a REALLY BAD idea to put mail spool files on NFS mounts, or are
there ways that programs like /bin/mail can correctly ensure
consistency while reading in data ... ?
Thanks!
