Last I heard, > FreeBSD didn't have NFS locking. Is this still true? That is still true. I have several grant proposals out to try and fund the further development of NFS, of which a working lock manager and interface to it would definitely be a part, but so far nobody has nibbled. It would otherwise appear to be unimportant enough to the majority of the user community that nobody has ever tried to do it for free, so now I have to try and work out some way of paying for it. :-( -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
