I am trying to create create database on a NFS mount point I create a db connection using sqlite3_open call.. As per the documentation the default VFS using on unix OS is 'unix.' The execution gets stuck at the function sqlite3_exec Now, if I register any other VFS like unix-excl using sqlite3_open_v2 call.. then it works fine. The NFS s/c version used is 3. I have few questions around this: - Why does VFS 'unix' not work for NFS? Is it version dependent? - The process just gets hung up on the sqlite3_exec. Can there be a way to exit from this situation?
