The funny thing is that we're running our large NFS servers on OmniOS (with Linux NFS clients), as plugins for a certain large PHP-based blogging platform loves to sprinkle LOCK_EX flocks all over the place.

Sadly with a Linux NFS server, lock state eventually corrupts itself to extinction but OmniOS can tick along past 300 days uptime without a problem.

Of course.... these issues only show up under production levels of load, and have never been able to be distilled into a reproducable test case.

FML, and FNL ( = fricking NFS locking :P)
