How will this help? You won't be able to do a hardlink if one was NFS.
If a symlink, won't the lock still have problems? Or does it follow
the symlink to the local FS before trying to lock?

One trick is to export HISTFILE point to a local FS.

Of course I absolutely positively have to have it to work over NFS so
I make sure patches are installed and rpc.statd and rpc.lockd are working.
It's been years since I've had this problem.
