Just upgraded to 3.0.7 from 3.0.5 to try and prevent the random corruption of the locking.tdb file. When it appears an error is generated by smbstatus to the effect of "Unable to initialise locking database". Further new creations of smbd process fail and no more users are able to log in. Has anyone seen this error? Any suggestions?
