lockd(NADM)
lockd --
network lock daemon
Synopsis
/usr/lib/nfs/lockd [-s] [-t timeout] [-g graceperiod] [-d] [-h hashsize]
[-p proto] [-v provider] [-a]
Description
The lockd command processes lock requests that are either sent
locally by the kernel or remotely by another lock daemon. lockd
forwards lock requests for remote data to the server site's lock daemon
through RPC/XDR. lockd then requests the status
monitor daemon,
statd(NADM),
for monitor service. The reply to the lock request will not be sent to
the kernel until the status daemon and the server site's lock daemon have
replied.
If either the status monitor or server site's lock daemon is unavailable,
the reply to a lock request for remote data is delayed until all daemons
become available.
When a server recovers, it waits for a grace period for all client-site
lock daemons to submit reclaim requests. Client-site lock daemons, on
the other hand, are notified by the status monitor daemon of the server
recovery and promptly resubmit previously granted lock requests. If a
lock daemon fails to secure a previously granted lock at the server site,
then it sends SIGLOST to a process.
The lockd daemon is automatically invoked in run level 3.
Only a privileged user can execute this command.
Options
The following options are available to the lockd command:
-a-
Start lockd using all available transports.
-d-
Turn on debugging.
-g graceperiod-
Use graceperiod seconds as the grace period duration instead of
the default value (25 seconds).
-h hashsize-
Use hashsize buckets in the hash table used to keep client
handles.
-p proto-
Start lockd only using the network selection protocol
specified by proto.
-s-
Report sharing conflicts.
-t timeout-
Use timeout seconds as the interval instead of the default value
(25 seconds) to retransmit lock request to the remote server.
-v provider-
Start lockd only using the device specified by provider.
