I've tried to use Linux as an NFS server for Solaris with mixed
results. For READONLY it works fine. For READ/WRITE it is unreliable
since the current Linux NFS server does not support locking.
You may want to investigate the new 2.2.pre NFS since it now claims to
support locking. Unfortunately, last I saw only client support was
provided.
