Samba assumes posix locking semantics on the filesystem.
NFS locking is broken. You might try setting
'strict locking = no'. If that doesn't work, you might
try 'posix locking = no' just as a test.
We'll give that a shot -- we're still doing fs->nfs->samba
sharing. Is this going to incur a slowdown?
No. But if you are accessing the same file via NFS
and CIFS, you might have problems with applications
not recognizing each others locks.
Hm, fun... Okay. I guess that making the same host serve both NFS and
CIFS off the same physical volume is probably the best ultimate
solution? (This is the direction we are heading in, but right now, not
quite in a position to do that yet).
Many thanks
Matt
