The purpose of sm-notify is to send reboot notifications. File locking over NFS
requires a facility to notify peers in case of a reboot, so that clients can
reclaim locks after a server crash, and/or servers can release locks held by
the rebooted client.
NFSv2/v3 clients are not required to send periodic notification as per the
protocol specification.
In case of NFSv4, there is a timeout. The client has to "ping" every so-often.
If the server hasn't seen a ping for a while it is allowed to drop the lock,
but it is encouraged only to do some if some other app (local or remote) tries
to get the lock. So, please use NFSv4.
Marking as RESOLVED WONTFIX
