lockfile does not work on NFS share

[MattClimb]

Hi,

I have a new share NFS where i need to make a semaphore with lockfile command.

But when i execute the command it does not work.

Code: Select all

[root@serv-test1 sauv_data]# df . -Th
Filesystem           Type  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
share:/share_test    nfs    60T   31T   30T  52% /sauv_data
[root@serv-test1 sauv_data]# lockfile -r 0 toto
lockfile: Try praying, giving up on "toto"

Can you help me please?

Thx for your help,

Matt
