17:10 < paulsherwood> anyone know what's special about nfs? i'm being told about strange behaviour running ybd on nfs build machines...
17:11 < edcragg> storage on nfs? aren't there some permissions quirks
17:11 <+richard_maw> plus some operations aren't guaranteed to be consistent; generally it's not POSIX compliant
17:12 <+richard_maw> its flock() implementation has classically been totally broken
17:12 < paulsherwood> eek, then
17:13 < paulsherwood> so one example problem is 'tar: ./usr/src: Cannot mkdir: No space left on device'
