turning off file locking

[Foucar, James G]

thanks for the replies, there is a lockd daemon running and from what
sysadmin has told me in the past, they mounted everything using the noac
option.

The problem isn't with pnetcdf. The problem is that you are accessing
files
on an NFS file system, and the MPI-IO implementation that pnetcdf uses
needs
file locking to work on NFS for consistency reasons. The error you are
seeing is usually because the NFS lockd daemon is not running on the
machines. Could you check that?
