| |
elm and mutt fail when they use fcntl() to lock the mail spool file which is mounted over NFS in our case (/var/spool/mail served by SunOS 4.1.3 and mounted by Linux clients). strace shows that after fcntl() the variable errno is set to "No locks available". It worked when 2.0.36 kernel was used. It also works from SunOS clients.
On Linux side: kernel 2.2.7, latest userland nfsd, lockd is compiled into the kernel. A test program showed that Linux-Linux locking didn't work either.
Can someone explain it or point to relevant information sources?
Thanks,
Pavel
