Cobbler uses flock and /var/lib/cobbler/lock for it's
single-writer-at-a-time control right now.
NFS will not do flock.
It's not LSB correct but I propose this be "/etc/cobbler" since the
chance of /etc being on NFS are pretty much zero.
(Thinking aloud, is there any chance the two or so users that have
reported corruption of system records were using /var on NFS?)
Is there a better path for this?
