NFS V4 locking
Have been testing some NFS version 4 exports from a RHEL 4.8 server
and its quckly become apparent that there are issues with locking.
Basically the fcntl(2) and lockf(2) system call interfaces don't work.
On an V4 mount these calls always fail with errno ENOLCK - no
locks available.
Contrary to what is stated by its man page, flock(2) does work over
NFS V3 or V4, at least from version FC13 and Scientific Linux clients.
Can anyone shed any light on the basic issue? I am wondering
if I need some Kernel update or other.. Currently running 2.6.18-164

Re: NFS V4 locking
Do you have to have a demon running on the server like HP-UX?

Re: NFS V4 locking
Yes the rpc.nfsd demons are still there under NFS Version 4 .
Anyway, I have tried V4 locking on a RHEL5 test server
and that all works as expected..
Someone related to me on the Red Hat forums that
they had had to revert to NFS V3 under RHEL4.
So I guess it is some sort of kernel issue, that
will,likely, never be resolved by now.
