Re: How do I kill a stuck lock on a file?

Can you post sample code which demonstrates the problem? Whenever all of the copies of the file descriptor for the file you are working on are closed, the kernel should be cleaning up that lock for you.

I tried creating a simple test program with open(), flock() and sleep() but I can't reproduce the error. Grrr... When I run the original program, though, I still get the same error. All the hosts are NFS mounting the filesystem on which the file I'm trying to lock, reside. This could posssibly be a bug in Solaris8 since if I run the same program under Linux, it runs without the error.	[reply]
