Hosting applications in a non file locking ZFS environment

Yo,

You shouldnt have any issues with locking disabled.  However I have not run Windows apps over NFS, just Linux and some OSX.

The only area in which Ive needed locking are serving out home directories to OSX clients.

Im sure there are other envs were locking is required but for your VFX workflow, you should not need it.

However my advice is tainted by my humble experiences so others may say different.

Hi,

I'm setting up a ZFS file server for our Windows 7 (Ultimate) and our CentOS 6.x machines to access over NFS. I'm also planning on deploying Maya, Nuke etc as network installations on these NFS shares and disable any form of file locking I can find (so to speak).

My question; Maya and Nuke should run fine from such an NFS share and with file locking disabled, right?
