Re: How to disable NFS fnctl in /etc/fstab?

For some reason we want to disable fnctl lock for NFS
mounted partition. We can achieve this by the following
command: mount_nfs -T -L server:/home /mnt
However after several time of failure tests, we still
can not make it work in /etc/fstab.

server:/home /mnt nfs rw,tcp 0 0

It seems there is no coresponding options in /etc/fstab
so that I can disable fnctl lock for NFS. If we can not
set it right in /etc/fstab, every time the machine reboot
requires human intervention to mount the partition manually.
It is very annoying and inconvenient.

Please give us some suggestion and hint to solve this situation.


I see some references to 'nolock' here and there, but YMMV.

Re: nVidia driver update today: renders X11 unusable

Well, everything with a transparency, as you stated above, seems to be

I recompiled xorg and my windowmanager, no effect. Even xdm shows up

Is there a solution? The situation is serious ...


Back out of the upgrade, back to the previous version? The current 
_binary_ package is still the old version, so you could try to 
force-install that one (e.g. by using portupgrade -fPP 
xf86-video-nv-2.1.11) until the port gets fixed, I guess. Haven't tried 
this (haven't upgraded yet), but it should revert your upgrade and get 
you up and running for now (but ymmv).
