I'm running a samba pdc on my gentoo box in a mixed environment with a couple of Windows XP clients and only a few MacOSX clients. The users told me, the file locking across the platforms does not work properly sometimes.
I tried to google my problem, but without luck. I switched all the flags related the lock mechanism of samba on and off, but the problem seems to be solved yet. The only debug information I have is the output of smbstatus. The column "DenyMode" looks totally different if a mac or a windows client opens the same file. A *windows* client opens a file: [...] Locked files: Pid Uid DenyMode Access R/W Oplock SharePath Name Time -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19919 501 DENY_ALL 0x2019f RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /data0/prod ~test~0kjyv(.idlk Tue Sep 30 00:50:24 2008 19919 501 DENY_WRITE 0x20089 RDONLY EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /data0/prod test.indd Tue Sep 30 00:50:24 2008 A *mac* client opens a file: [...] Locked files: Pid Uid DenyMode Access R/W Oplock SharePath Name Time -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19564 501 DENY_NONE 0x20007 RDWR NONE /data0/prod ~test~0kjyv(.idlk Tue Sep 30 00:51:43 2008 19564 501 DENY_NONE 0x20001 RDONLY NONE /data0/prod test.indd Tue Sep 30 00:51:43 2008 Believe it or not, but generally windows denies the opening of a file that is already opened on a mac. Any help is appreciated. Sorry for my poor english. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
