From: Daniel Bird db...@sgul.ac.uk Setting locking = No in the globals of smb.conf fixed it. Keep in mind that: Be careful about disabling locking either globally or in a specific service, as lack of locking may result in data corruption. You should never need to set this parameter.

Here's a question: are you using your old configuration files? You might want to compare the default from the install with the old ones - there may be deprecated or defunct or invalid options. Have used the same smb.conf for years on RHEL3 while moving from 3.0.x to 3.[2-4].x.
