NAME

6       Mail::Box::Locker::NFS - lock a folder with a separate file, NFS-safe
7

INHERITANCE

9        Mail::Box::Locker::NFS
10          is a Mail::Box::Locker
11          is a Mail::Reporter
12

SYNOPSIS

14        See Mail::Box::Locker
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Like the "::DotLock" locker, but then in an NFS-safe fashion.  Over
18       NFS, the creation of a file is not atomic.  The "::DotLock" locker
19       depends on an atomic "open" system call, hence in not usable to lock a
20       folder which accessed over NFS.  The "::NFS" locker is therefore more
21       complicated (so therefore slower), but will work for NFS --and for
22       local disks as well.

DIAGNOSTICS

135       Warning: Folder $folder already locked over nfs
136           Do not try to lock the folder when the application already has the
137           lock: it will give you dead-locks.
138
139       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
140           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
141           not implement this method where it should. This message means that
142           some other related classes do implement this method however the
143           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and
144           probably inform the author of the package.
145
146       Warning: Removed expired lockfile $filename.
147           A lock file was found which was older than the expiration period as
148           specified with new(timeout).  The lock file was successfully
149           removed.
150
151       Error: Unable to remove expired lockfile $lockfile: $!
152           A lock file was found which was older than the expiration period as
153           specified with the new(timeout) option.  It is impossible to remove
154           that lock file, so we need to wait until it vanishes by some
155           external cause.
