Iomega DataSafe Network Device - Manual (Page 69)

DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 64
uses the external data representation (XDR) protocol
to ensure portable data transmission between NFS
clients and the DataSafe NAS.
UNIX computers follow advisory locking for all lock
requests. This means that the operating system does
not enforce lock semantics on a file, and applications
that check for the existence of locks can use these
locks effectively. However, the
NFS Service
implements mandatory locks even for those locking
requests that are received through NFS. This ensures
that locks acquired through NFS are visible through
the server message block (SMB) protocol and to
applications accessing the files locally. Mandatory
locks are enforced by the operating system.
