locking problem from HP-UX to Linux NFS Server

Hi all,

i have similar problems with locking from HP-UX clients to a Linux NFS-Server (HP-UX 10.20,11.0,11.1). Currenty i use SuSE 8.0 on the server with actual rpm's installed. I searched the support archives from HP and deja.com, found several people with the same problem but they never got an answer. I'll make an Software-Call at HP-Support, but i'm not sure if that make too much sense.

My workarout for this problem is, to symlink the directory where my applications want to create ther lock and datafiles to an NFS-share on an old Solaris 2.5 (without .1 !) box (and when i get the money to buy a Solaris box as NFS server i'll kick the Linux-NFS-servers ass ;-), could use it for my test Oracle-RAC). That's not what i like, but i gonna keep my shop going.

Hi nfs experts !
i'm using a Linux NFS server to store mailboxs from external HP-UX (ver 11.0), mail server soft ware on HP-UX is CommunigatePro (it runs as root.mail user).

and i got a problem when start Communigate Pro:
- cannot lock files

my exports file is:
/data/data_mail hp-ux-box(rw,no_root_squash,insecure,insecure_locks)

anyone can help me to fix this ?
