Good Day, I'm running into some issues and wondered if there are a few of you that can assist. Or please let me know if this is better off in a Java forum (but figure the Samba crew knows a bit more about filesystems then the java team :) Information prior to question/concern: Samba Ver: Version 3.0.6 OS: Linux sc8-a7-lri4.rsc01.net 2.4.20-30.9smp #1 SMP Wed Feb 4 20:36:46 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Java: j2sdk1.4.2_03 Using smbmount only. Accessing a Network Appliance share (NAS) from multiple Linux boxes. Running into issues with file locking. We are doing this as we migrate away from MS and to Linux, however we need Case insenseitivity in the short term (will end up going longer then I like), but thus the need for some type of SMB/CIFS Filesystem. We are using "java.nio.channels.FileLock" We are seeing locks not honored and also lots of java.io.IOException: Resource deadlock avoided. We see this in both NFS and SMB FS mounts. Locking is just not working correctly Oct 2 16:29:20 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_readpage_sync: launch/AllServers.xml open failed, error=-2 Oct 2 16:29:55 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_open: Clickthrough-4.status/AllServers.xml open failed, result=-2 Oct 2 16:29:55 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_open: Clickthrough-4.status/AllServers.xml open failed, result=-2 Oct 2 16:29:55 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_readpage_sync: Clickthrough-4.status/AllServers.xml open failed, error=-2 Oct 2 16:29:56 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_open: Clickthrough-4.status/AllServers.xml open failed, result=-2 Oct 2 16:29:56 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_open: Clickthrough-4.status/AllServers.xml open failed, result=-2 Oct 2 16:29:56 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_readpage_sync: Clickthrough-4.status/AllServers.xml open failed, error=-2 Oct 2 16:29:56 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_open: Clickthrough-4.status/AllServers.xml open failed, result=-2 Oct 2 16:29:56 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_open: Clickthrough-4.status/AllServers.xml open failed, result=-2 Oct 2 16:29:56 sc8-a7-lri4 kernel: smb_readpage_sync: Clickthrough-4.status/AllServers.xml open failed, error=-2 Everything works fine on the local FS, it's just failing over a NFS and SMB share. But again the SMB/CIFS share is critical and I'll be forced to continue down the windows path, if we can't figure this out. Thanks for any insight you can provide Tory M Blue tmblue@pacbell.net
