Last updated on FEBRUARY 06, 2019

Applies to:

Symptoms

A Network File system (NFS) client file locks over NFSv3 mounts are not succeeding, and processes attempting to lock files are hanging waiting for a lock to complete.     The hung process should be able to be killed, but the file lock it requested won't be available.

Changes

No competing locks on the file in question are present - the:

  command shows nothing on the client or on Solaris NFS server for that client.    No changes are apparent, although it's possible a name service problem is present that did not exist earlier.
