Hi,

I’m trying to crawl/index a large Windows file share using the JCIFS 1.3.18 
library (MCF version 2.0.1 in Datafari 2.2). 

The MCF job quits with this error :-

Error: SmbException thrown: The process cannot access the file because it is 
being used by another process.

Looking at the exception handling in SharedDriveConnector.java, it looks like 
this particular error case is not handled, but I would expect it to arise 
fairly frequently when crawling over Windows shares - it is not possible to 
know in advance which files are going to be held open by users when the crawl 
tries to access them.

Before trying to change the code, can I check if this is a known issue and if 
there’s an existing work-around?

Thanks a lot

Vince
