Hi Michal,

We occasionally get a request to close a lock file for an Office document but I 
wouldn't necessarily say we could easily reproduce it. We're still running 
4.2.3.7 though so YMMV.

I'm building out my test cluster at the moment to do some experiments and as 
soon as 5.0.1 is released I'll be upgrading it to check it out.

Thanks
Richard

Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] Temporary office files

Hello,

I have problem with "~$somename.xlsx" files in Samba shares at GPFS Samba 
cluster. These lock files are supposed to be removed by Samba with "delete on 
close" function. This function is working  at standard Samba server in Centos 
but not with Samba cluster at GPFS. Is this function disabled on purpose or is 
ti an error? I'm not sure if this problem was in older versions, but now with 
version 5.0.0.0 it's easy to reproduce. 
Just open and close any excel file, and "~$xxxx.xlsx" file will remain at 
share. You have to uncheck "hide protected operating system files" on Windows 
to see them.
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Michal
