Hi Listmembers

Problem:
Windows Clients having problems with Microsoft Office App's (Excel, Word) when 
the files are on the Samba Share "documents" (which is mapped through a Windows 
Drive Letter on the client). Two clients have MS Office 2003. They can open doc 
Documents but when they want to save it error messages are appearing (message 
about to less space on drive, but this is a false errormessage). Saving of 
documents does not work and MS Office crashes. Sometimes Word is crashing 
already when the user opens a document. Same with XLS document. One client has 
MS Office 2010. He can open and save changes in Microsoft Office Documents. But 
saving changes, even small ones, are taking 30 seconds.

Clients which are using Open Office having no problems. They can even open and 
saving the MS Office document without Problem. Also with other Applications 
there are no problems (ex. opening pdf documents, txt documents with notepad 
etc.).

So the problems occurs only while working with this share "documents" and using 
Microsoft Office. I've got another share on the same Samba Server named 
"personal". The Microsoft Office clients have no problems on this share. The 
only difference is that the "path" from "personal" share in smb.conf is not a 
NFS Mount but a location on the harddisk of the server itselve (ext3 partition).

So the problem has something to do with using Samba shares which have their 
path on NFS Mounts.




System environment:


Centos 5.x Server 
Samba Version  3.0.33



***Samba Config****
[global]
        workgroup = OfficeLAN
        server string = qube2
        lanman auth = Yes
        client NTLMv2 auth = Yes
        time server = Yes
        add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g samba-clients -s 
/bin/false -M %u
        logon script = %U.bat
        logon drive = M:
        logon home = \\%N\profiles\%U

        preferred master = Yes
        domain master = Yes
        wins server = 10.0.10.12
        wins support = Yes
        ldap ssl = no
        admin users = @sysadmin
        printer admin = @sysadmin
        cups options = raw


[documents]
        comment = documents
        path = /home/nfs_qube2/documents
        force user = admin
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes

*******


The "documents" share is on a NFS Mount which is mounted in /etc/fstab 
10.0.10.13:/vol/nfs_qube2/office-data /home/nfs_qube2 nfs 
rw,bg,vers=3,tcp,timeo=600,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr



Thanks for any advice
