I have a peculiar problem..  I am running a 2.4.7 machine as an NFS server.
Under an LVM disk group, I created two logical drives -- one formatted with
XFS, the other with EXT2.

I then exported these two drives to my Tru64 v5.1 machine.  I made two user
accounts, one having a homedir on the nfs mounted ext2 share, the other's
homedir on the XFS share.

On each account, I went into ELM, read a message, hit > to save the message
to a folder.  On the account that was using NFS mounted XFS, I got this
error message:

Couldn't lock folder /ua/rcarsey/Mail/rcarsey!

While the account whose homedir on EXT2 over NFS worked fine.

This is how I exported the filesystems:
[root@netapp2 moncol]# exportfs -v
/data/moncol-ext
                moncol.monmouth.edu(rw,async,wdelay,insecure,no_root_squash)
/data/moncol/ua
                moncol.monmouth.edu(rw,async,wdelay,insecure,no_root_squash)
