We are currently running Goldmine 5.7 on a Linux (Redhat
7.1) machine running SAMBA (2.0.10). The issues which we=20
have are the "typical" file corruption issues which seem to be=20
present with XP machines on the network, which is when we=20
began having the problems. I heard that upgrading=20
to SAMBA >2.2.4 would help the oplock issues with XP and=20
SAMBA, but before I did this, I wanted to see what the thoughts
here are, and to see if anyone has put together a "This is what you
need to do for GM / SAMBA". Below is an excerpt from my smb.conf
file for this share...
[share]
comment =3D N drive
path =3D /home/share
writeable =3D Yes
guest ok =3D Yes
oplocks =3D No
read prediction =3D No
Does this look appropriate or do I need to add / change any
settings? Also, as I said, I heard that upgrading to a newer
version of SAMBA will help, but I do not really want to risk=20
messing up file sharing completely if it is not necessary... I=20
have an rpm for 2.2.5 is that will fix the issue, otherwise, if I=20
need a newer revision, please point me to the one which I
need.
Thanks,
