Hi all, I have a strange locking file problem. I cannot open (read only) a file (alais.dbf) from my windows box but form the linux box it is possible to read the file. I has something to do with samba. loglevel 10 output nt-client: ----------------------------- [2005/09/23 11:20:24, 10] locking/locking.c:is_locked(109) is_locked: brl start=0 len=512 unlocked for file database.aww.sav/alais.dbf [2005/09/23 11:20:24, 10] locking/posix.c:is_posix_locked(706) is_posix_locked: File database.aww.sav/alais.dbf, offset = 0, count = 512, type = READ [2005/09/23 11:20:24, 10] locking/posix.c:posix_lock_in_range(642) posix_lock_in_range: offset_out = 0, count_out = 512 [2005/09/23 11:20:24, 8] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(659) posix_fcntl_lock 24 12 0 512 0 [2005/09/23 11:20:24, 8] lib/util.c:fcntl_lock(1815) fcntl_lock 24 12 0 512 0 [2005/09/23 11:20:24, 3] lib/util.c:fcntl_lock(1834) fcntl_lock: fd 24 is locked by pid 16961 [2005/09/23 11:20:24, 8] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(689) posix_fcntl_lock: Lock call successful [2005/09/23 11:20:24, 10] locking/locking.c:is_locked(121) is_locked: posix start=0 len=512 locked for file database.aww.sav/alais.dbf [2005/09/23 11:20:24, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(147) error packet at smbd/reply.c(2658) cmd=46 (SMBreadX) NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT Any suggestions ? cheers Stefan
