This particular server is a standalone unit, meaning that it is not part of a cluster. It was almost like the client is maintaining it's own list of locks and sending them to the server?

I am interesting about you remove the tdb files and they come back. Do you use ctdb mode? What is the value of clustering option?

    Hello,

    I'm running Samba 3.4.11 on CentOS 5.2.. I Have some users at my
    company that have recently upgraded their macs to Snow Leopard
    10.6.6 and are running in to some SMB issues. When they mount a
    share they can move,delete,copy folders just fine. If they open
    and close a file in one of those folders though, they cannot
    rename, delete, or move the folder because samba has it locked and
    it appears to stay locked until they dismount the volume (even
    though all files/folders are closed).

    This has only started happening since we upgraded our macs to
    10.6.x (10.5.x works just fine).

    I'm completely at the end of my rope regarding this problem. I've
    tried tweaking various server side configuration options for
    oplocking, etc and have made 0 headway. One funny thing that I did
    notice is that, as a test, I shutdown Samba, deleted the lock tdb
    file, and restarted samba. As soon as the client reestablished
    it's connection with the server all the old locks (displayed using
    smbstatus) were put back in to place (I'm talking about something
    like 100 or so locks, some as old as 2 days). It looks like the
    client is requesting the locks on the folders for some reason.

    I'm 95% sure that this is a OSX client bug but I was hoping
    someone out there had a workaround for it.

    Thanks,
    David
