NFS Question

[Hewitt Tech]

You might want to peruse the 2nd edition of Managing NFS and NIS from
Oreilly. See:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/nfs2/toc.html

File locking problems can be troubleshot by exercising the file locking
calls and setting the lock daemons into debug mode. You might also want to
tcpdump the traffic between the client/server to make sure the requests are
going to/from the correct systems etc.. As has been pointed out, locking
between dissimilar systems might very well result in problems. Range locking
also has the effect of disabling the NFS server's cache mechanism which can
result in noticeably poor performance.
