TTOTD: Ubuntu needs nfs-common to do NFS locking

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

If your NFS mounts seem to take ages to, er, mount, and OpenOffice always opens things read-only, then maybe you forgot to install nfs-common and thus have no NFS locking support.
Or you could go to NFSv4 (mentalist).
Or disable locking in OOo (mentalist).
