[Samba] STATUS_INVALID_LOCK_SEQUENCE when writing to a file....

[Note to moderator, I couldn't remember which email account I subscribed 
to this list from. Sorry...]

Hi All,

Have any of you seen this little darling of an error on writing to a
file? The sequence of events goes something like this:
1) File is opened for reading on a Samba server with oplocks disabled.
Open request is requesting a batch oplock.
2) File open SUCCEEDS. (Should this have happened?)
3) File is read, stat'd etc. over and over.
4) A request comes through to write to the file.
5) STATUS_INVALID_LOCK_SEQUENCE Error happens.

I think that the client had an odd interpretation of what a batch oplock
let it get away with. There is also a filter driver in the way that does
odd things (ClearCase MVFS), and this could be related, but the odd
thing is that the error ONLY happens when accessing [ClearCase Views on]
Samba shares. I'm thinking that the client thought it could do anything
it wanted since it thought it had a batch oplock.

My question is, shouldn't the samba server "bounce" an open
request that
includes a request for a Batch Oplock (or any oplock at all, for that
matter)?

Yes, I have a network trace that shows the problem, but I can't exactly
sent it out since it contains proprietary information.

Thanks!

[Samba] STATUS_INVALID_LOCK_SEQUENCE when writing to a file....

Hi All,

Have any of you seen this little darling of an error

1) File is opened for reading on a Samba server with

Open request is requesting a batch oplock.
2) File open SUCCEEDS. (Should this have happened?)
3) File is read, stat'd etc. over and over.
4) A request comes through to write to the file.
5) STATUS_INVALID_LOCK_SEQUENCE Error happens.

I think that the client had an odd interpretation of
what a batch oplock
let it get away with. There is also a filter driver in
the way that does
odd things (ClearCase MVFS), and this could be
related, but the odd
thing is that the error ONLY happens when accessing
[ClearCase Views on]

could do anything
it wanted since it thought it had a batch oplock.

My question is, shouldn't the samba server "bounce" an

This is a very old version. Any chance you
can test with the recently released 3.0.23d ?
