[Samba] Foxpro for DOS and Samba

2004-04-21 Thread Stephen N J Wade
We have an NT4 server where some Foxpro 2.6 for dos data files (dbf and cdx
files) are located.  We have a Foxpro 2.6  for DOS application that resides
on the NT4 server along with the FPD26 runtimes and executables.

We also have a Linux server running DOSEMU that mounts a share under Samba
2.2.8a on the NT4 server to access the same data files via a copy of the
.app and runtimes located on the linux server.

The Fox pro app runs fine under Dosemu, everything appears to work fine, but
we get regular data loss from the tables i.e. records are not written to the
files, or indexes are not updated correctly.

Does anyone know if this setup is known to cause problems? 

Cheers

Steve Wade

Last time I looked at Dosemu, I believe it was having file/record 
locking issues with any kind of mounted drive.  They may have fixed it now.

Have you read about oplocks yet and the registry changed need on Win 
Clients?
