Hi all,
I've had just a couple instances so far where a user has closed a file, but fuser still reports it open, and when I look at the pid it reports, it's a smbd process. If I kill the process, other users can open the file. Is there a way that I can debug why this is happening? Samba 3.0.9 with ext3 filesystem underlying. Thanks for any ideas, as this is one of those things that just makes Samba look less robust than I know it actually is.

In my experience samba fails to release a file lock if the user crashes a program that has a file open. The lock is released when the user logs off, because that kills the pid as you mentioned. I don't think you should kill the pid if the user is still active.
