Description Christian Parpart (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-13 21:36:42 UTC
Hi, since a some long days I repeately noticed that I can't start neither KDE 
nor any other app (almost Qt). I simply used strace to get more info about and 
recognized that all apps hangup in the fcntl syscall. I've my /home directory 
on my Server and access it via NFS, so only users had the problem. But 
although root can get it, (I tested it, by changing temporarily my $HOME into 
a NFS driven dir). 
 
So, I can't really say, whether this is a bug of GCC 3.2 generated code, a bug 
in vanilla kernel 2.4.19, or even the nfs-utils package. I'm using now on both 
machines Gentoo 1.4beta. But the bug has been a few days before too. I just 
didn't care about, since these days just irssi hang by going into /away state 
(also fcntl call). 
 
((I'd be happy if I get some response, too. Since OpenAFS seems not a good 
replacement for NFS. I'm new to AFS and I can't find a way for simply mapping 
my server /home dir to the clients.)) 
 
Many thanks, 
Christian Parpart. 
Many thanks

Bug 6167 mentions something about the rpc.lockd program ...
