Description georg.lippold 2002-04-22 15:33:47 UTC

I have my $HOME on a nfs-mount with the following mount-options:

rsize=1024,wsize=1024,retry=5,nfsvers=2,soft,intr,udp 0 0

Mutt 1.3.28 from a "emerge mutt" under gentoo-linux-1.1a cannot fcntl() 
the ~/Mail directory on that mount. I found out that a different 
configure line solves the problem:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/mutt 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/mutt-1.3.28 
--with-regex --enable-nfs-fix --enable-pop --enable-external-dotlock 
--enable-flock --disable-fcntl --enable-imap --with-homespool=Maildir

(now mutt flock()'s it instead, works fine as long as sandbox is not 
loaded, but that is already discussed in 501)

My mail folder is in mbox format
