The Windows 2003 machine is a raid array data server that provides both Windows and UNIX/Linux shares (NFS). Some users prefer a Windows browser for copying or editing files. An older Samba on an older Linux machine (Mandrake 10.2) provided this service until recently.

You use Samba to re-export this to a Windows XP machine. You get file corruption when writing to that samba export. Right? Question: Why don't you just mount directly from W2k3? And, you might just try "posix locking = no" and "kernel oplocks = no" in your smb.conf. Volker This message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
