I do not have access to the NetApp filer from where the view storage is exported, to modify the export options, nor to the nis server to change the parameters used in the automount pages.
Reading the source code, filelock.c, I can see that the only thing I could do to avoid creating those lock files, would be to set purify_flag to t. I guess there might be unwanted side-effects(?) Buffer local when working in a view? I am afraid that this locking (spurious in a ClearCase view which already uses its own locking mechanism) may have other impacts than the esthetic one of leaving those files. Especially, it may be the cause of the horrendous delays I get when working from home over a VPN connection... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/.-*-lock-files-under-X%2C-for-files-I-edit----tp23655794p23671375.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
