You can try:
- Don't start lockd at all! It was working for some versions of linux nfs client.

- or recompile netatalk with configure --disable-locking, I'm not sure it's
working if the cnid db is on a nfs mounted volume though.

Of course in both case if a volume is mounted by two users you're in trouble.

Hum, anyway netatalk also uses fcntl() for regular files so it'd break very
quickly.
