I can confirm this made no difference. I see the locking working from
windows between the first two servers but *not* the third. This seems to
match what I had with smbclient. Again, could it be that an FS that
passes ping_pong not be able to work in a CTDB cluster?

The developers of my fs (MooseFS) have said that while file flock() is
working perfectly there is still no directory flock. Could that be a
pointer?

Cheers,
