Greetings,

I have done my due diligence to the best of my ability, and I believe that the information I've come across indicates a file locking issue on sqlite files if using CIFS/SMB on a Mac to connect to a Windows share. That in itself would not be an issue as I could simply say "That is not supported."

The problem, however, is with the application using sqlite to store the data. The environment is this:

Mac OS X 10.6.8
ADmitMac v6.0.1 (Active Directory and CIFS Client)
Network Home folder resides on Windows Server 2008 DC
Firefox v6

When logged in with a domain account and using a network home, Firefox will never quit properly. Launching and using it are fine, but when trying to quit, log out, or shutdown, the sqlite files are still listed as open files (Both in Open Files on the Windows DC and when running "lsof" on the Mac).

I am in the process of testing this with Apple's built-in AD and SMB client, but based on the information I've found, I expect the problem to be the same.

Since this will affect every Mac user attempting to use Firefox on an AD network, this would seem to me to be a bit more than a minor problem with sharing a file on an SMB volume.

Any assistance or advice is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jim Thomas
