[Samba] Oplocks, Oplock_break and request Oplock_break
Hello there.
I'm having a few problems using samba 2.2.3a and sharing a paradox database.
On the whole
everything works fine but (there's always a but), every now and again. a
machine's shares will
close causing the database to crash (sometimes only that machine) - the other
networked
machine recover after a few error messages.
I guess the easy answer would be to disable oplocks for the share but I'd
rather not since it
makes maintaining the database much quicker when I use it personally after
hours.
I've did a little digging the the log files and have came up with the
following: there are 3
machines (doris, o-techs & hazel). It appears that Doris had an oplock on a
particular file. For
some reason (probably the clients hazel or 0-techs), on trying to free the
oplock, samba killed
the doris SMBD process even though it has locked files. Upon doris reconnecting,
these locked
files are not reconnected hence screwing up the database on the machine.
I am including the relevant sections from the logs below & what machien
generated them. Can
someone please describe what the error messages actually mean and can anyone
offer any
sugestions/solutions to the problem.
Thanks for any help.
Paul
