Open-E DSS update ver. 5.00 up46 build 3084

"Fixed:
- NFS locking file does not work"
Unfortunately we're still experiencing NFS locking issues with the lastest DSS code (5.0.DB47000000.3216) :

Our user's home directories are mounted via NFS by the user's workstations (currently openSuSE 11.0). Both Firefox 3.0 and Eclipse cannot store profiles resp. workspaces inside the home directories due to locking issues.

Setting the NFS "insecure locks" flag for the shares does not make any difference (although I haven't tested rebooting the DSS after setting that flag).

Does anyone have such a setup working reliably? We currently have to sync the (NFS-based) profiles with copies on file systems local to each workstation before starting and after stopping Firefox, rendering the idea of NFS-based home directories nearly useless.

With regards,
Jens
