If nbmand is off there won't be much coordination between SMB and NFS accesses to the same file and it could potentially lead to file corruption.
If you don't have simultaneous access to the same files over both protocols then you don't need to worry about turning nbmand off. Afshin On 12/ 2/10 05:52 AM, Ryan John wrote:
Hi, Thanks for a great product, it really works well. The following is not a CIFS problem, only background. For some time now, we’ve been running into problems with shares that are exported via CIFS and NFSv4 My Solaris systems are running snv_134 and the Linux systems are RedHat 5.5 We’ve isolated the problem to a known Linux bug: http://www.mail-archive.com/zfs-disc...@opensolaris.org/msg28412.html We’ve patched our Linux kernels to try and cope, but we are still running into occasional problems, that I can fix by turning off nbmand. My question is, what are the implications of turning off nbmand locks on a user’s home directory? For example: Can it lead to file corruption? Are they there, only so that 2 users at the same time can’t write to the files? If it’s to block multiple users accessing the file, is it safe in a home directory only accessible to one user?
