11 Tom, you obviously know nfs better than I do, so maybe you can answer
12 this question for me.

14 This morning I got "waiting on lockfile foo in /usr/portage/distfiles"
15 "locking not available" from my nfs3 clients when trying to download
16 needed source files.
17
18 I worked around this failure by using the nfs nolock mount option, and
19 then I gave up and restored nfs4 to all my kernels and nfs-utils packages.

21 I don't recall having this problem back in my former nfs3-only days.
22 Maybe I've forgotten something obvious that I did back then?
