This is in ext3. I've just looked at the machine in question and there's the following files: ./var/locks/gencache.tdb ./var/locks/idmap_cache.tdb ./var/locks/messages.tdb ./var/locks/winbindd_cache.tdb ./var/locks/netsamlogon_cache.tdb ./var/locks/connections.tdb ./var/locks/mutex.tdb The particular file in question has an access time of Jan 23rd 2009. Are these files periodically removed by samba such as when it restarts, or are they somehow persistent? Certainly the timestamp on the netsamlogon_cache.tdb file suggests it's persistent. Are they meant to be cleared, even? Kindly, -- Thomas Adam Senior Developer Smoothwall Ltd.
