SOLUTION FOUND!
In your webmail/functions directory there is a file named abook_local_file.php
In there are functions to lock the abook file... guess what? That
doesn't work over NFS. I made the following change:
/** Lock the datafile - try 20 times in 5 seconds */
function lock() {
# for($i = 0 ; $i < 20 ; $i++) {
# if(flock($this->filehandle, 2 + 4))
return true;
# else
# usleep(250000);
# }
# return false;
}
/** Unlock the datafile */
function unlock() {
# return flock($this->filehandle, 3);
}
