Environment
Reload (all version)
Situation
Some users are receiving file is locked errors when using NFS across a WAN, the connections fails and reports that a file is locked.
Resolution
In some situations, when dbcopy copies data using NFS an error may be returned, file is locked. To work around this issue, a nolock can be added to the <profile>.conf for NFS.
1) Edit the conf file for the profile in question; /opt/beginfinite/reload/conf/<profile>.conf
2) There will be line similar to the following;
CLIENT_NFS_OPTIONS="tcp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192'
add nolock to this line, the change will look like this;
CLIENT_NFS_OPTIONS="tcp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nolock"
3) The next time a backup runs for this profile, the new option willl be used.
