If you are using a Linux 2.2 NFS client, you need to run a server that
supports the NFS locking protocol. The Linux userland NFS server
doesn't support this, only the kernel NFS daemon in 2.2 does.
You can work around this by mounting the file system on the
2.2 client (the PC) with the option "nolock".
