[Solved] NFS and file locking?

[kein-ding]

Hi,

puh, I've spend quite some hours to find a solution - but I didn't find one.

I have three laptops having access to a NAS via nfs (3x Ubuntu 10.10 and Qnap 119+ turbo).

And we are having the problem, that OO-files on the NAS can not be opened - just as a copy or write protected.

Why is there still the problem just with OO-files? Anyway - I would like to know, if there is a workarround, that could help me with my problem?

I "solved" the problem by using samba. But using samba from linux to access a linux-nas is quite a bit strange, isn't it?

So maybe someone knows a better solution?

Thanks for help,
kein-ding

Are all accesses Write protected, or is the first access read/write, with subsequent users being read-only?

after all I found the solution.
I don't know why it is so hard to find it, but it took me some dozen of hours to find it.

the solution:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:etienne-goyer-outlands/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install nfs-utils
i did get an error message, that there is no nfs-utils package.
but after a system update (i don't know the ubuntu-term for "aktualsierungsverwaltung")
there was a nfs-comon uptdate to install.
after this installation, the access to the OpenOffice files works fine.
I've done this installation for a 32bit and a 64bit Ubuntu 10.10.

Maybe this is of help for someone else.

@RoryOF,
the writeprotection has been for everybody, no matter if the was accessed by someone else or not.
I could even not save a file onto a nfs-share.

horrido,
