I just had almost this happen. This time it was a quickbooks user. She got an error message that her connection to the server had been lost (I didn't see this myself). When I looked at smbstatus I saw that she still had locks: Locked files: Pid DenyMode Access R/W Oplock Name -------------------------------------------------------------- 4191 DENY_NONE 0x2019f RDWR NONE /export/pointmeridian/Accounting/Quickbooks/Point Meridian.QBI Wed May 26 10:10:03 2004 4191 DENY_NONE 0x2019f RDWR NONE /export/pointmeridian/Accounting/Quickbooks/Point Meridian.QBW Wed May 26 10:10:02 2004 When she re-entered quickbooks it gave the usual error that the file was already in use. I restarted samba and it let her in.
