=head1 NAME
Mail::Box::Locker::NFS - lock a folder with a separate file, NFS-safe
=head1 INHERITANCE
Mail::Box::Locker::NFS
is a Mail::Box::Locker
is a Mail::Reporter
=head1 SYNOPSIS
See Mail::Box::Locker
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Like the C<::DotLock> locker, but then in an NFS-safe fashion. Over NFS,
the creation of a file is not atomic. The C<::DotLock> locker depends
on an atomic C<open> system call, hence in not usable to lock a folder
which accessed over NFS. The C<::NFS>
locker is therefore more complicated (so therefore slower), but will work
for NFS --and for local disks as well.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
I<Warning:> Folder $folder already locked over nfs
Do not try to lock the folder when the application already has the
lock: it will give you dead-locks.
I<Error:> Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not
implement this method where it should. This message means that some other
related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does
not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author
of the package.
I<Warning:> Removed expired lockfile $filename.
A lock file was found which was older than the expiration period as
specified with L<new(timeout)|Mail::Box::Locker/"METHODS">. The lock file was succesfully
removed.
I<Error:> Unable to remove expired lockfile $lockfile: $!
A lock file was found which was older than the expiration period as
specified with the L<new(timeout)|Mail::Box::Locker/"METHODS"> option. It is impossible to remove that
lock file, so we need to wait until it vanishes by some external cause.
