<p>My initial assessment is that the addition of lock-never fixes
the problem. I knew I had seen discussion somewhere about networked
home directories being a problem, but I never tried search criteria
that would have found that page for me in the KB. I guess I could
have looked through the FAQ, eh? ;-) Thanks!</p>
<p>Are there any risks with removing the file locking?</p>

<p>unfortunately there are. If multiple threads or gnupg instances
try to access the key rings at the same time, they'll very likely
be destroyed. GPG Keychain Access does that and so it's very
possible that you'll end up losing your keys in the process.<br>
You can try it, but please make sure you keep a backup of your
.gnupg folder.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/308733952014-01-16T17:41:25Z2014-01-16T17:41:25Z10.9: GPG Config Error, gpg: can't lock networked home<div><p>Thank you for the reply. I've made a copy of the .gnupg
folder.</p>
<p>What is the long term solution?</p>

<p>the long term solution would be to re-implement the locking
mechanism of gnupg in order to make it work on different file
systems.<br>
We already have a ticket for that, but it will take a lot of time
and thorough testing.</p>
