Re: Eclipse workspace problems with NFS volume served from OS X server

Eclipse wants a file lock on the workspace and java can't give it one on an NFS volume.

Which IMHO isn't javas fault, but rather the NFS clients. NFS and file locking is a peculiar issue, e.g. the Linux 2.4 NFS client pretends to lock files but actually doesn't, Linux 2.6 does it right, but the implementation has some nasty side effects: locks are held using .nfsXXX files that pollute the directories and prevent operations on it you could do on a local fs.

No solution for this problem here, only sympathy with other victims of NFS file locking problems :-) I would check for NFS options, client- and server-side, though. Maybe OS X offers some tweaking..
