NFS and file locking

[Philip M. Golllucci]

Hi all,

I've got a FreeBSD 6.x -current file server running NFS and I mount
lots of things via NFS on other Freebsd 6.x -current servers with an NFS 
client.  I get _lots_ of file locking issues.  See below for just one 
example.  I'm wondering, will NFSv4 fix this or switching to samba ?
If not, I'd be gratefull for suggestions.

Thanks in advance!
