List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hello, I have a question about NFS and file locking on multiple clients. Let's say I have a NFS server and two clients; "client a" and "client b". Is it possible to flock() a file on "client a", and make "client b" respect a's lock? I've managed to lock files on "client a" and let other processes on "client a" honour the locks, but "client b" doesn't seem to be able to see the lock= s. Before I research any further, does anyone know if this is possible?
