--- Comment #8 from Ted <rail.bird at att.net> ---
Close this bug report.  It is not a bug. I would kill it or close it if I could
figure out how.  I changed the "Importance" to enhancement because changing the
default to "nofile locking" would be an enhancement.  File locking should NOT
be enabled by default.

At some point in time the defaults were changed so file locking is enabled by
default on a NFS networked drive.  The issue is poor system design.  There is
no direct way to enable or disable file locking.  I have learned to go to
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice and edit the file to comment out the file
locking settings.  I have to do this every time there is an update to
LibreOffice.

My set up is two Linux computers, one in the shop and one in the office.  ALL
data files are kept on the hard drive on the machine in the shop.  NFS file
sharing is set up to share the shop HD with the office computer.  Every other
application other than LibreOffice I can run the application in the office and
open and edit the files on the hard drive in the shop.  These apps include:
LibreCAD
FreeCAD
GIMP
Okular
ARK
Kate
Arduino
Blender
Gwenview
Inkscape
and probably others.

Everything except LibreOffice.  Get the picture?  LibreOffice is out of step
with the rest of the world.

The following in the file: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
is WRONG

# file locking now enabled by default  << that is the issue
SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 export
SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING


Oh, I found it.  Changed the Status to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME
