# ----------------------------
# Allow opening of data files on NFS volumes
#
# Allows for database files which exists on a NFS mounted partition to
# be opened by the engine.
#
# The original behavour was to try and connect to server on the remote
# machine via port 3050, this ensures that all opens of a file occur on
# the same machine and locking etc can be handled appropriately. However,
# this often causes frustration since often you end up in a position
# where you really do want db files to be opened by the local process
# even though it resides on a NFS share. So this option allows for this
# 'feature' to be turned off.
#
# Type: boolean
#
#RemoteFileOpenAbility = 0

I'm trying to write some doc for this little charmer. What's the
effect? What are the limitations? Risks?

If it works on Linux, how does it work? If it works for NFS, does it also
work for SMB? Windows mapped drives? Shares?


Thanks.
