Quite. I did some work on this way back when in order to determine a safe locking schema which would work correctly in all the standard cases encluding NFS clusters. In the end, after checking all the versions and most of the platforms the only thing we found that we could actually rely on was creat(2) being atomic. Nothing else is reliable across the various platforms and NFS versions. Well, until recently. NFS v4 changes a few things as it is no longer stateless. > Im sure that means you dont want to allow concurrent access to your > storage data from seperate NFS clients.
