Searching the archives I have found others with this problem but I have never seen a solution posted. If I can fix this, I will post a summary. I have a share set up as follows: [apps] path = /data/apps valid users = @adm @users admin users = @adm @users write list = @adm @users read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 directory mask = 0777 force directory mode = 0777 guest ok = Yes hide dot files = No share modes = No fstype = SAMBA oplocks = no level2 oplocks = no strict locking = yes Multiple simultaneous users are using the Goldmine application which accesses it's database on this share. Unfortunately, the database index file becomes corrupt after a time and requires a rebuild. This problem does not exist when NT is used as the file-share. Has anyone out there managed to get this to work? What am I missing? Thank You
