Sorry, i didn't read the code enought. The error would not be the same. >same problem with both... This is normal, since pid files are handle by samba itself >Perhaps it's related to my kernel but actually samba 2.2.2 is working... I don't think so, since the error tell us that pid files can not be locked. >[2003/09/23 18:27:45, 8] lib/util.c:fcntl_lock(1621) >fcntl_lock 6 13 0 1 1 >[2003/09/23 18:27:45, 3] lib/util.c:fcntl_lock(1632) > fcntl_lock: fcntl lock gave errno 22 (Invalid argument) >[2003/09/23 18:27:45, 3] lib/util.c:fcntl_lock(1651) > fcntl_lock: lock failed at offset 0 count 1 op 13 type 1 (Invalid argument) >[2003/09/23 18:27:45, 0] lib/pidfile.c:pidfile_create(97) > ERROR: nmbd : fcntl lock of file >/usr/local/samba-3.0.0rc4/var/locks/nmbd.pid failed. Error was Invalid >argument I think the error is reported by the fcntl() system call. I don't know about the reason. "Invalid argument" seems not to be related to a problem on the file system, nor the kernel ressources. However, i never saw this error on my own servers, so this sould not be a bad argument passing to the function. This error thus astonishes me much and i'm also insterested by the real reason. -- Vincent -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
