Good day, Our Windows users aren't able to edit their MS Office files over our Samba shares (Samba 3.0.10, CentOS4 w/ their i386 RPM). It looks like the clients' attempts to lock the files fails. When their client attempts to open such a file, Samba reports:
----------8<----------------------- [2006/10/27 15:55:57, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(657) posix_fcntl_lock: WARNING: lock request at offset 2147483538, length 1 returned [2006/10/27 15:55:57, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(658) an No locks available error. This can happen when using 64 bit lock offsets [2006/10/27 15:55:57, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(659) on 32 bit NFS mounted file systems. ----------8<----------------------- The filesystem the file is on is indeed a NFS filesystem mounted from a Netapp device, although I have no idea if Samba tried a 64-bit lock. The machine and Samba binary are 32-bit, although I am guessing Samba thinks it's supposed to use 64-bit locks. But, I have no idea how to actually fix this problem. I've found lots of posts with people with this issue, and a couple others describing the details of the problem and why it happens, but none actually resolving it- other than one suggestion to set "locking no", which is obviously not desirable at all! Can someone suggest how this could be resolved?
