Hello, I'm trying to replace M$-Windows in my parent's lab with GNU/Linux. He needs a Clipper-CA 5.2 software to run there, but I have some problems.
I run this way: * I have a SAMBA server wich exports my files (DBF); * I have 2 clients still running M$ Windows. If they try to access the same file, everything works as expected, no problems; * I have 1 GNU/Linux client wich mounts the SMB share and I have a symbolic link from it to dosemu dir (~/.dosemu/drives/c/MYDIR -> /mnt/SMB_EXPORTED_DIR). When I access a file (dbf) with this machine with any other client (Windows or Linux) I got error messages and inconsistence (sometimes I don't get the error, but the written data is lost). PS: I'm using dosemu-devel (unstable) The same problems occurs if instead of the SMB mounted share I use NFS or a local file (running dosemu in the server) So, the problem seems to be in file locking in dosemu... Searching the net I've found people with problems regarding M$-Dos record-locking. I think that's my problem too... unfortunately I didn't found any solution. So, there is a way to use multiple dosemu to concurrently access the same file? Thanks! Gustavo _______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
