[Samba] "posix locking = no" - is it dangerous?!
Dear users, I'm asking myself... what if I use "posix locking = no" to a share in a Samba server?! Here goes 3 URL's describing the some problem I have right now: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2008-January/137529.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2008-January/137437.html http://blog.notreally.org/articles/2007/12/ The last one suggest a patch to the kernel code, but I do not want to touch anything at such level. I've been testing some "locking" options and could realize that "posix locking = no" brought me an work around to this problem. But here comes a very serious issue: data consistency. And also, what kind of negative impacts could affect the server?! Suggestions?!
