Sorry for slow reply, having trouble with my email! I don't think updating is the answer, the reason I say that is because stock RHEL 6.4 comes with Samba 3.6.9 (I think) and this did exactly the same thing and where I originally noticed the behaviour. I discovered RHEL had a more recent version and updated to that (4.0.0). Therefore what I am describing appears to have been around for a while now. Additionally, my preference (for various reasons) is to stick with a supported RHEL version of Samba and not build my own.
Happy to post smb.conf if required.

I've also created an application (running on the RHEL box) that does the following: Update, definitely. My published toolchain for building Samba 4.0.5 as SRPM's, and with the option of acting as a domain controller, is at https://github.com/nkadel/samba-4.0.5-srpm. > - detects a file appearing in the share (using Inotify looking for the IN_CLOSE_WRITE event) > - open and fcntl lock the file > - do some processing > - move the file to somewhere else in the filesystem > > When I use a Windows 7 machine to copy a file to the share (using explorer) my app works fine. However if I copy a file as before, but then while my app is processing the file if I copy the file to the share again, I get a dialog in Windows stating the file is locked, 'Try Again' or 'Cancel'. If I press Cancel, the dialog goes away but so does the file within the share.

I assume this is the cause of the file deletion? I have to admit to being a novice at both SMB and Samba so apologies in advance if I'm a little vague. > > Is the above expected even though I have locked the file? > > For further info, I disabled oplocks for my share with no change in behaviour.
