Hello all, we're currently having problems with Windows XP machines that have *very* long file access times for files that are located on our linux-based samba server (samba 2.2.5 / linux 2.4.18). This happens with all kinds of files, with all kinds of programs, including Office97, text editors, develoment environments, etc.
Sometimes - the incidents itself seems to be random and is not reproducible so far - a program freezes after a file to be opened or saved is selected; depending on the program, it either - returns after a minute or so claiming the operation has failed, only to load/save the file successfully anyway most of the time, or - loads/saves the file as requested and unfreezes the program after up to 60 seconds. This only happens with our WinXP clients; the two legacy Win98 machines still in use don't ever complain about anything. I read something about oplock problems in an older mail on one of the samba mailing lists and tried tinkering with the parameters to no avail. Below, I include my smb.conf; a debug logs are available on request. Any help or insight into the matter is appreciated. Thanks Kasi Mir
