Mrs.;
I have a 16-bits Cobol program running at Novell 5.1.
I'm migrating the whole network (around 150 terminais) to Linux + LTS
processing DOSEMU into cluster and making a storage server just for data.
My surprise last week was that the smbfs client for Linux doesn't support
the file locking, after googling, found that a solution would be to use
CIFS instead SMB and upgrading the Samba version for 3.0.23D.
Ok, kernel patched (2.4.33.3), CIFS working, Samba upgraded and running.
Now, when I map the share in data storage it is rightly mapped, using the
command (from samba 3.0.23d compilation):
mount.cifs //10.1.15.105/data /data -o username=test,password=test
When I run the Cobol program (that mounted using smbfs works fine - just
don't lock the files, like windows client do correctly) it freezes right
after open the first screen, in syslog I get the log:
kernel: CIFS VFS: Error unlocking previously locked range -37 during test
of lock
last message repeated 30 times
Tried to start the mouting with the nolock option but that's not recognized.
My system:
Slackware 11.0
Intel Dual Xeon 3.0 i386
Kernel 2.4.33.3
Samba Version 3.0.23D
Kernel CIFS built-in compiled (patch 1.20, from samba.org)
