Subject2.2.0-pre7 nfs lockd problems
I am using CFS by Matt Blaze which uses NFS mount points for encrypted
filesystems. I am getting lockd error messages in syslog whenever procmail
tries to lock my encrypted INBOX for writing:

Jan 17 09:42:47 fuel kernel: lockd: failed to monitor 127.0.0.1
Jan 17 09:43:01 fuel last message repeated 19 times

Procmail also emits a message:

From xxx Sun Jan 17 09:42:51 1999
Subject: Re:
Folder: /crypt/mailcrypt/beldridg
1862
procmail: Kernel-lock failed
procmail: Kernel-unlock failed


I looks like this is because the NFS mount point for the encrypted
filesystem is localhost. Here is what the setup looks like:

[beldridg@fuel beldridg]$ mount |grep nfs
localhost:/null on /crypt type nfs (rw,port=3049,intr,addr=127.0.0.1)

[beldridg@fuel beldridg]$ ll / |grep null
d--------- 2 root root 1024 Nov 1 17:26 null

[beldridg@fuel beldridg]$ ll / |grep crypt
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 8192 Jan 17 09:36 crypt


I am not using the kernel nfsd implementation and am using userspace nfs
instead:

[beldridg@fuel linux]$ cat .config |grep -i nfs
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_NFSD is not set



Any ideas?
