Hi all, as it happens very often the problem sits about 30 centimeters from the monitor (thanks for that, Volker)!
I incorrectly assumed that i can access the same directory on a GPFS file system from two different nodes. As such my current "problem" is solved. Currently we have to isolate access to a directory on GPFS to a single node. My next steps would be to setup CTDB and SAMBA on AIX. But the documentation is not suited for a AIX install as it is very linux based. I would be willing to cooperate to build the documentation and a reference installation for AIX. How about you, Bill? Shall we give it a try?! ;-) Kind regards Volker -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Volker Lendecke [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Mo 27.07.2009 15:47 An: Arendt, Volker Cc: [email protected] Betreff: Re: [Samba] Share access problem from 3.4.0 On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 03:19:15PM +0200, Arendt, Volker wrote: > Hi all, > > we have a public share for all of our users.

No idea without logfiles. Just to make 100% sure: The "path=" you're pointing to is different from the 3.0.26a node, right? Otherwise you're forcing your users to destroy their data. You might want to take a look at ctdb.samba.org. Volker -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
