Re: nfs home directory and google chrome.

[Patrick Goetz <pgoetz@math.utexas.edu>]

We had a similar problem with Firefox, most notably with Mac OSX users 
who have NFS-mounted home directories. There's an about:config solution 
for Firefox; namely set

    storage.nfs_filesystem: true

This forces a specific network file locking mechanism which makes sqlite 
behave better. I'm guessing google chrome has something similar.
