Googling "no locks available" nfs freebsd
and      "no locks available" nfs suse

give two quite different impressions as to problems in the field.

FreeBSD today seems to run nfsv3 as default, but you can choose v2 type 
mounts.

I do read much about window size effecting (affecting?) throughput. So 
much so, that's it's the black art magic to make nfs hum or grind to a 
halt. I can see situations where some *clerk files would run like a 
dream, but *reports would move like a slug without proper window size.

What "I" don't understand yet is how filePro could deal with two 
different machines trying to update records in the same file. While I 
can see each machine properly not overwriting each others records, how 
do (would) the indexes get updated properly?
