Solution => no_subtree_check

Hi to everybody,

I had some trouble with locks on a Tru64-NFS client.
"lockf(fd, F_TLOCK, 0)" did not work proper.

no_subtree_check was required for the /etc/exports.

NFS-server: Linux with kernel 2.6.11 ( regular SuSE 9.3 )
NFS-client: Tru64 4.0G

/mountpoint  => Mountpoint
/mountpoint/my => permission 770, owner "my"
/mountpoint/my/subdir => permission 770, owner "my"
/mountpoint/my/subdir/mylock => permission 770, owner "my"

The User "my" was not able to lock the file.

After "chmod 777 /mountpoint/my /mountpoint/my/subdir" the lock worked.

Please see below for a script to reproduce bahavior.

Best regards,

Christian

PS: Linux,AIX and Sun as client worked without no_subtree_check
