But today we had the chance to test the samba version with the "deferred open" patch included (Samba 3.0.5pre2-SVN-build-1011) and the results show, that this version does _not_ solve the problem: the "File already in use" error messages still occur when users are opening their Excel files :-( But we did another test and we now know it has something to do with the version of MS Office: the error only occurs with (old) Excel from Office97, it does not occur with Excel from Office2003! I can't explain what is going on here, but maybe that's a hint for others having the same problem As the move to the new Office version is planned anyway, the significance of this problem now is much lower and I'm about to close this issue for now (this is not to say that I'm not open to try any new idea on this issue... ;-) Anyway, many thanks for your support! - - andreas PS: I did lots of testing with Samba 3.0.5pre2-SVN-build-1011 on our internal test server and I found not a single problem with this version.

Ok, I just mailed Andreas privately, but wanted to let everyone who might be suffering from the same problem know the status. I have now re-written the Samba open code to provide the "deferred" opens that Excel seems to require. I have a (large) patch against the current Samba subversion 3.0 code that should fix this problem. I've been testing it here and it passes all my automated tests, plus it is valgrind (memory leak and overwrite) safe. If you can cope with applying a diff patch to svn checked out code (if you don't know what that means don't ask for the patch :-) please let me know and I'll mail it out. Don't put it into production but for people who have users who can reproduce it at will I'd be very interested to see if this fixes the problem.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm currently writing the code to fix the "deferred" open problem. I should have something to test by the end of this week, early next at the latest.

Thanks - that's a good plan. I now have the design for the new "deferred" open code in my head, and I'm looking at the 3.0.x codebase to try and make a minimum neccessary change to integrate it (ie. I don't want to break anything). I will be running lots of regression tests in this area before committing the code :-).

Re: [Samba] File already in use?
Do you, by chance run a virus scanner and Win2000 or WinXP? Windows 2000 and XP have a tendency to examine files in a directory when you open an Explorer window. This triggers the virus scanner, which, in turn, opens the file and keeps it locked until it has finished scanning the file. I have no experience with Linux virus scanners (I still scan on user-side only), but the same problem could apply on the Linux side. I hope this helps.

It just "happens" sometimes: the user is trying to open a file on a simple samba share he (or she) works regularily with and for no apparent reason windows pops up a dialog telling it "can't open the file because it's already opened by some other user or process". No need to say that all users say they have _not_ already opened the file in any way. Samba log messages tell me that the file was indeed opened and closed several times in less than a second when the user is trying to access the file. Eventually I then see this "share violation on file" error in the logs (see my previous mail). I can not link this error message 1:1 to this problem though, as I see many more of them in the log file than I have user reports about this problem. If the user then acknowledges the windows error dialog by klicking "OK", the file opens without further problems. There is no need to restart Samba or the Windows PC. (so it's more an annoyance and in no way a showstopper, but it would be nice to have it resolved anyway) We have about 25 users on this fileserver (samba 3.0.2a in PDC configuration, Linux 2.4.25, client PC's use Windows XP professional SP1) and it happes for most of the users once or twice about every other day. I have now increased samba loglevel to 10. I have tcpdump running to dump the whole traffic between the fileserver and a particular PC into tracefiles (file size limit is 5MB, snaplen is unlimited) which then can be examined by ethereal. I have instructed the user on this PC to report the problem as soon as it happens again. I hope to have a usable tracefile and logfile soon! Tell me if you need any additional information!

I don't have the virus scanning enabled. My understanding is that oplocks doesn't actually have anything to do with locking and has much more to do with caching.

(see my mail with subject "Share violation on file error" from yesterday) So far I've got no reply from the list. I tried to play a little bit with oplock configurations (disable oplocks for some file pattern, completely disable oplocks for the shares) but it doesn't seem to help... :-( I don't know what's going on. Currently I suspect the virus scanners doing some strange things, but I have no prove for this theory. - - andreas - -- Andreas Haumer | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *x Software + Systeme | http://www.xss.co.at/ Karmarschgasse 51/2/20 | Tel: +43-1-6060114-0 A-1100 Vienna, Austria | Fax: +43-1-6060114-71 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFAtKW4xJmyeGcXPhERAv4sAJd366+BTIcEjqpQz1SvwmMW4Ww0AKCereTk P/OOy37fvaEqV9iI8AxMjw== =t8MI -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] File already in use?
Hi, I'm running 3.0.4 and have had several reports from users both using Office and Lotus where the application tells them that the file is already in use when we know it isn't. (BTW, there's a typo on the man page under "lock spin count". "acquired", not "aquired".)
