NFS and File Locks



Apologies in advance for posting a pure Apache question
to the apache-ssl list ... is there an apache mailing list?

The apache documentation talks about placing lock files
on local disks and not on NFS mounted file systems.
However, there is no mention of the reasons behind this
stern warning.

I'd be very interested in information as to why this is such
a bad thing to do.

TIA, 

  Dave
