In ancient times, locking over NFS didn't work, or at least not reliably.
With NFS 4, locking was added to the protocol IIRC, but I have no clue how
good it works, especially when you mix various platforms/implementations.
What the current state with CIFS regarding locking is: I don't know, but in
general I don't really trust remote file systems in this area. :-}
