Hello
I am not sure where this problem should go so I am posting to
-questions.
I have a SOHO set up with several computers running a mix of FreeBSD 5.3
Release and Stable. I have an NFS server set up so that data can be
shared at all of the computers.
I would like to have the ability to retrieve mail from any of the
computers I happen to be logged into. I have tried various permutations
of exporting /home, /home/reg-user, and /home/reg-user/.evolution and I
always get the same error when trying to read mail.
I am able to mount the directory(ies) on the client computers and am
able to call up evolution and see the messages but when I try to read
any message I get this error
******************************************************************
Error while Retrieving message 1292 (this number varies of course)
Failed to get lock using fcntl(2): Operation not supported.
******************************************************************
I read the man page for fcntl but I didn't get any help out of it. It
was way over my head.
Here is the important bits from /etc/exports
/home/reg-user/.evolution -alldirs notebook.my.local.lan
I have also tried -maproot with out any luck. I would think this is
possible but I guess I haven't set up the right conditions or options.
Can anyone help me out?
The error appears to be with filelocking not mounting. Filelocking is a
problem on NFS as many independent systems might try to get write access
to the same file at the same time. Do you have:
rpc_lockd_enable="YES" # Run NFS rpc.lockd needed for client/server.
rpc_statd_enable="YES" # Run NFS rpc.statd needed for client/server.
in your rc.conf?
