I had this issue not long ago on my NAS at home. I had to mount the NFS share with the nolock parameter and libreoffice has had no trouble saving to the NFS share since.
I've read about that too, but I don't understand how this has suddenly become a problem. I'll see if it makes a difference. What I don't understand - why is it only open/libreoffice that has this problem ??
Well, after having googled quite a bit, it would appear that open/libre office has an issue with file locking. I first tried altering the "soffice" script to not enable file locking, but it seems a better option to add "nolock" to /etc/fstab instead. Interestingly, it wasn't sufficient to remount with nolock.
When you open a lo doc, it creates a hidden lockfile in the same folder as the doc. If you then try to open it elsewhere, it tells you. Nice.
Yes, that is a nice feature.
Maybe what you are seeing is a conflict between what lo does internally and what nfs does?
I'm beginning to think so, yeah.
IOW if you want the locking, you have it anyway, so no hrm turning it off at fs level.
