From: David Jones David {- dot -} Jones {- at -} UCDENVER {- dot -} EDU

The problem is that every directory in lib/data/monomers has to be
world "writeable" in order to use nfsv4
for refmac to run. Something that clearly I don't want to do...
And why just the monomers directory.... is refmac trying to write
something, or is it a broken nfslock

I can easily fix this with an NFS v3 mount. Which is what I have done.

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this.

Hi David,

Do all the client machines have NFSv4? You can force a mount to use
NFSv3 by using "nfsvers=3" as a mount option. I guess that the server
might have something similar. That would allow you to make more secure
directory settings. I am not sure how to fix the problem, it could be a
bug. Certainly permissions on the lower directories are important, 'x'
allows you to `cd` into that directory.
