Infrastructure Software

Hi,

I have a Solaris 10 server with a svn repository on a nfs export (/home/t4)
This export is mounted on several Linux machines (ubuntu, opensuse and more)

Whenever I try to commit changes from the Linux clients to the repository I get:

svn commit Makefile
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Can't get exclusive lock on file '/home/t4/repos/feature/db/txn-current-lock': No locks available
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: '/home/t4/nico/Adapt_Crunch/CruncH/feature/trunk/svn-commit.tmp'

Note that the commit works perfectly from a Solaris nfs client.

With Google I found that mounting on Linux with the 'nolock' option would help (did not try it yet).
But if so, would that be safe and prevent multiple concurrent commits from different clients?

Is this locking problem with subversion and linux normal?

Thanks,
Nico
