Hello Kjell,

thanks for the quick reply.

This is most interesting to hear since I experience problems with
file-locking.

When I access a repository on node A that is in a directory mounted from node
B, I typically get

svn: Error opening db lockfile
svn: Can't get shared lock on file '/svn/repos/locks/db.lock': No locks
available

I even checked the program referenced on
http://woss.name/2005/08/25/subversion-and-nfs-file-locking/ to determine
whether my NFS supports locks, but this program could not lock files either.
What d*mn configuration option of NFS did I configure the wrong way?

I would much appreciate further help!

Kind regards
Martin Eisenhardt
