[Samba] Samba : Lock table full errors making my life miserable ..
Hi All, I take care of a small network for a Tax an Accounting firm , We switched over from Windows to a RH ES server running samba 3.0.7 recently. Ok heres the problem there's this mutinous wretch of a software called peachtree , It intermittently (every 1 or 2 days sometimes every couple of hours) comes out with "Z:\Staus.dat Lock Table Full " Errors.. heres the help section from peachtree "If you are operating Peachtree on a Novell network and experience "Lock Table Full" errors, increase the maximum locks per connection on your network, then try the conversion process again. If this does not work or you are on a experiencing "Lock Table Full" errors on other networks when trying to convert data, copy your company data to a workstation and perform the operation directly on that workstation. When the process is complete, copy the data back to the network drive. If you are unclear as to how to set the number of locks, refer to your network manual or see a network administrator. You can also visit the PeachFacts Knowledge Base at our Web site at www.peachtree.com/support for information correcting the error." Anyone know how to set whatever they are talking about in samba ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried the following as solutions : 1. upgraded samba from 3.0.6 to 3.0.7 2. tried all the following in smb.conf oplocks = no level2 oplocks = no kernel oplocks = no strict locking = no in all possible permutations. - this doesnt help Following is my config file # Global parameters [global] workgroup = XXX server string = XXX security = SHARE oplocks = no level2 oplocks = no kernel oplocks = no strict locking = no log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY load printers = No disable spoolss = Yes show add printer wizard = No idmap uid = 15000-20000 idmap gid = 15000-20000 winbind separator = + winbind use default domain = Yes hosts allow = <localnet> Sundru .

We ran Peachtree over a samba .2.x server for a long time and only very occasionally (usually when the accountants did something stupid) came up with these errors. We're currently migrating away from peachtree and moved them to a windows box for the new software, but I'll see if I can dig up an old configuration when I get back to work on Monday. -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
