We're having a problem with a combination of NFS and Samba that I'm hoping
someone here has seen before and knows the solution for.
In this case, the Samba server is an NFS client, and the Samba share is
actually an NFS mount to an NFS server.
The problem we see is when a Windows client tries to open a file on the Samba
share, the application hangs, and eventually comes back saying something to the
effect that it couldn't open the file. Doesn't matter whether the application
is notepad, Word, Excel, etc.
Windows client is XP SP 2
Samba server/NFS client - tried a couple of different systems, both show the
same symptoms:
Fedora Core release 5, Samba 3.0.24-7.FC5, nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8.4.FC5, kernel:
2.6.20-1.2320.fc5
Fedora Core release 2, Samba 3.0.7-2.FC2, nfs-utils-lib-1.0.6-22, kernel:
2.6.11-7.1smp
NFS Server
Red Hat Enterprise ES release 4 update 5, nfs-utils-lib-1.0.6-8, kernel:
2.6.9-4.ELsmp
We've been doing this for years using a different NFS server. We've recently
upgrade to new hardware and OS on this NFS server, and this has been a problem
ever since.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, in advance.

Have you tried dropping the firewall on the Red Hat 4 NFS server to see
if the problem goes away?
