Jeremy Allison might have found some traces of it in the network traffic dump files I produced. But as far as I have understood the explanation from Jeremy, there might also be some issue with samba and windows clients opening the same file several times in the same second. I will now proceed as follows: a) Try to reproduce the problem with the virus scanner disabled b) Try to reproduce the problem with samba 3.0.5pre1 (though it might not have a fix for this) c) Wait for a patch from Jeremy with a fix for the "deferred open issue" and try to reproduce the problem with that. I will keep the list informed of any results I can get! - - andreas - -- Andreas Haumer | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *x Software + Systeme | http://www.xss.co.at/ Karmarschgasse 51/2/20 | Tel: +43-1-6060114-0 A-1100 Vienna, Austria | Fax: +43-1-6060114-71 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAuNxcxJmyeGcXPhERArvtAKCJTXiTtvASj8YPP0FZGlVUnEiV0ACgqVtk OZZJ4GZh5UBPN7sduhKwq6U= =Be+W -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
