Hi all,

I've always been wary of using flock on NFS. Am I being superstitious?
The usage scenario I'm thinking of is N nodes trying to acquire a lock
on file F that is located on the NFS server. How can I determine if
the proper NFS components are in place in order for the programs to
function correctly?
