This is true. However technology doesn't stop evolving. The locking on NFS
on the systems I use seems pretty rock solid. I push sqlite3 to extremes on
NFS and there have been challenges but all considered it is quite
remarkable how well it performs. As I mentioned in a previous email the
built in timeout mechanism in sqlite3 seems to tie up the database and
using shorter timeouts and delaying a short while before trying again
really seemed to improve throughput.

Overall I'd say that be cautious but don't hesitate to keep sqlite3 in your
tool chest even if you have to work on NFS.

Note that the issue I'm seeing is happening with no NFS.
