 | NFS Locking IssuesI've run into a lot of different issues with NFS and locking. It's sometimes confusing which locking mechanism an application uses. I'm going to try to keep track of them here as I learn about them. Unix lock calls and locking methods are discussed in other places. Briefly I'm concerned with the lockf, flock, and fcntl calls. There are some applications that will utilize their own locking methodologies, for example Samba. The locking methods are shown for certain applications in Table 1, “Applications And Their Locking Methods”. Table 1. Applications And Their Locking Methods
