It just "happens" sometimes: the user is trying to open a file on a simple samba share he (or she) works regularily with and for no apparent reason windows pops up a dialog telling it "can't open the file because it's already opened by some other user or process". No need to say that all users say they have _not_ already opened the file in any way. Samba log messages tell me that the file was indeed opened and closed several times in less than a second when the user is trying to access the file. Eventually I then see this "share violation on file" error in the logs (see my previous mail). I can not link this error message 1:1 to this problem though, as I see many more of them in the log file than I have user reports about this problem. If the user then acknowledges the windows error dialog by klicking "OK", the file opens without further problems. There is no need to restart Samba or the Windows PC. (so it's more an annoyance and in no way a showstopper, but it would be nice to have it resolved anyway) We have about 25 users on this fileserver (samba 3.0.2a in PDC configuration, Linux 2.4.25, client PC's use Windows XP professional SP1) and it happes for most of the users once or twice about every other day. I have now increased samba loglevel to 10. I have tcpdump running to dump the whole traffic between the fileserver and a particular PC into tracefiles (file size limit is 5MB, snaplen is unlimited) which then can be examined by ethereal. I have instructed the user on this PC to report the problem as soon as it happens again. I hope to have a usable tracefile and logfile soon! Tell me if you need any additional information!
