Hello: We are using nfsv3. Now we meet a demand. If a client which hold a lock crash, after it reboot, its statd daemon can notify the nfs server to release the lock. But if this client will not reboot for some reason(or will reboot after a long time), then the lock it holding will not be released.In nfsv3 and nlmv4,it seems there is no time-out mechnism for this situation. How would we solve this question? My colleague advise me to modify the code of NLM/NSM to meet this demand,but is seems quite a complicated work.Can you give me some advice? And if there are some schemes in nfsv4? Thank you very much, and best regards. -- HE Xiao-feng Tel: (86)10-6260-0547 Fax: (86)10-6265-7255 Mailing: P. O.
