[Samba] Problems when executing a DOS batch file on a Samba Server
I have the following problem when I execute a DOS batch file on a Samba 3.0.0 Server on a Linux Fedora operating system: The Samba Server shares a directory with the following attributes: [disk_g] path = /disk_g writeable = yes valid users = winuser create mask = 0777 The workstation (a Windows 98 computer) has mapped disk_g with the G: drive letter. The batch file is a complex compile command. It contains between his lines this command: ... IF EXIST .\OBJ\*.VAR FOR %%x IN (.\OBJ\*.VAR) DO DEL %%x /p ... The current directory for the .bat file is: G:\MyApplication\ When I execute this batch file, on the G: drive it crashs with the message General failure reading drive G: Abort, Retry, Fail? F Fail on INT24 When I execute the whole operation on the local computer it works properly. When I replace the line in the batch file with del .\OBJ\*.VAR the batch file steps over this line bat crashs at the end, when I want to rename my exe file, with the same error. It seems like the files are locked for another operation. This batch file was working properly on an older Samba server on a Linux Red Hat 5.2 operating system in the same conditions. If You have an ideea or a solution for my problem, please help me. Thank You. Radu Comsa
