OK, I know the title makes you think this is a rehash but bear with me for a moment 
I have a Centos machine running an NFS server and openLDAP. I have 8 Ubuntu clients authenticating usernames against it and mounting their home directories. No problems.
I have 5 mac minis. User authentication against openLDAP w/o issue. NFS mounted home dirs through automounting. Works. People can log on, access files across platforms, writes files, etc. So, no problems with UIDs/GIDs/etc.
Problem one was the xcode development would run the iphone simulator. A quick search revealed that this *does* have issues on an NFS mount; I did the symbolic link to a local directory. Problem solved.
Second problem arose. Some students have a problem saving a file within xcode. They can create the files. They can modify the files once and save them. After that, no luck. I tried a number of work arounds but several students gave up and just saved to a flash drive.
Is there a set of recommendations for a mac client to mount a linux served NFS home directory to get around this problem? I have been playing with the nolocks option as well as the noac. Neither led to the iphone simulator working on an NFS mounted partition :-( The other problem is hard to replicate (which is also why I didn't give a precise error message for it, sorry about that).
Has anyone found a set of client/server combinations to let the simulator run on an NFS mount? Or does it seem like this is a completely separate problem from the other?
thanks for any advice,
kenny
