[Samba] [Repost] W2K Offline Files strange locking behavior
Dear All, I want to enable Offline Files support on several Win2K SP4 laptops. We have a samba file server. I have researched as much as I could to get answers and here is what I have. I am unfortunately unable to get this working properly. If anyone can answer or point me in to a good resource, I would greatly appreciate that. I am attempting to offline profile directories mapped to network drive letter X:. Here is my config for the profiles share: ----------------- [Profiles] comment = Shared User Profiles path = /home invalid users = nobody, guest create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 map acl inherit = Yes case sensitive = Yes hide special files = Yes store dos attributes = Yes csc policy = documents dos filemode = Yes dos filetime resolution = Yes ----------------- I get an error similar to the following for every file that I try to make available offline: Could not make 'somthing.doc' available offline. The specified file can not be found. If I create a new file, it appears as available offine, but I can neither delete nor rename it. At that point I usually start to get an Access Denied error on the entire shared drive and am forced to restart. The share is stored on a RHEL 3 server running Samba 3.0.9-1.3E.5 with an EXT3 file system with ACL support enabled. I have also included my global configuration at the bottom of this email. Here is my test procedure. -I make a share available offline. -It synchronizes showing all current files as "Unable to make 'file.txt' available offine on '\\server_b\profiles\testuser\My Documents'. The system cannot find the file specified." -I create new files in the folder while online. They appear oplocked in samba status: DENY_NONE RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /home/testuser/My Documents/New Text Document.txt -I attempt to give the file a name. This results in "X:\My Documents folder does not exist. Do you want to create it?" -The oplock is removed. -If I edit the file and attempt to save changes, I get "This file exists with Read Only attributes. Please use a different name." -If I then name the file something else, the file is created on the windows side and appears offline available. The file appears on the samba server also. -If I try to save this file again, I repeat the "This file exists with Read Only attributes..." situation from above. -Now, if I take the computer "offline" by disconnecting the NIC... all files behave normally. -After reconnecting, all files that were changed on windows while offline are synced to the samba server. Could this have something to do with case sensitivity or such? ANY help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Cheers, Peter. ===================[global] workgroup = EXAMPLE realm = EXAMPLE.COM server string = File Server [ServerB] (Samba %v) security = ADS password server = SERVERA username level = 5 log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/%m max xmit = 65535 name resolve order = host wins bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=65536 SO_RCVBUF=65536 IPTOS_LOWDELAY load printers = No logon script = \\servera\netlogon\logon.bat logon drive = X: logon home = \\SERVERB\Profiles\%U lm announce = No preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No wins server = 10.0.2.1 lock spin count = 30 lock spin time = 15 ldap ssl = no idmap uid = 1000-2000 idmap gid = 1000-2000 template primary group = @ template homedir = /home/%U template shell = /bin/bash winbind separator = + winbind cache time = 10 winbind use default domain = Yes winbind nested groups = Yes printer admin = jdoe read only = No create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 inherit permissions = Yes inherit acls = Yes delete veto files = Yes veto files = /.AppleDouble/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/ veto oplock files = /*.sem/*.qbw/*.mdb/*.nsf/*.log/*.id/*.ini/ csc policy = disable strict locking = No
