On the server, it'll generally show the pid of knfsd, and on the client you'll see the pid of the processes actually doing the locking.

You can send a SIGKILL to lockd to make it drop all of its locks. You'll need to couple that with a statd SM_NOTIFY event to make everyone recover their locks too... > I'm using NFSv4 on Linux 2.6.18 (server and client). > I don't think the same sort of trick works for NFSv4. I suppose you could probably shut down all the nfsd's on the server and bring them back up again.
