This is just a guess, but I know that unison is using some lock files, |
40 |
and there might be problems with this on nfs mounted directories. I |
41 |
think the problem might be solved if you run unison on both machines, |
42 |
rather than using the mounted directory. If that's impossible, you might |
43 |
be able to change the location of the lock files by changing the root to |
44 |
a local directory. |

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. |
