From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20040130 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: NFS statd fails to release locks during cleanup when client hostname differs from the client's nodename. This is because the NLM and NSM processes are split between kernel and userspace, so the userspace process can perform a gethostbyname while the kernel space statd cannot. This is a result of client configuration, but should be considered an nfs bug as well. This can be resolved by making the NSM and NLM hostnames match, or by causing NSM to stop using dns lookup. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change hostname 2. flock a file over NFS (succeeds) 3. reboot system 4. try to flock file again (fails) Additional info:
