Hello, I don't know is this a Samba or Subversion (or my faulty config) related issue so I'll start here. I'd like to clarify that the need to have just one working copy (and not one per user on his/her local disk) is vital here. My situation: - CentOS6, - Active Directory-enabled environment - Server is connected to AD, users are synced up - All users are in AD group "Production" which is available as a local group on the server via Winbind - There's a /data/html on an ACL-enabled EXT3 volume, ACL entry: # file: data/html # owner: root # group: production # flags: -s- user::rwx group::rwx other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:other::r-x Samba: [html] # stop SVN working copies from going belly-up delete readonly = yes path = /data/html read only = No browseable = Yes force group = production valid users = @production force create mode = 0664 force directory mode = 0775 inherit acls = Yes Target: - check out a working copy to this directory - allow only members of @Production to access it - allow various Subversion clients to be used via Samba on the working copy - allow for using SVN directly on the server (not via Samba, MUCH faster for large operations like checkout) without the need to fix permissions afterward (seamlessly) Now, I get most of it done: - I login via SSH and do a checkout - access the share via Samba (Linux, Fedora 14), it works - can commit/update/delete on either side, no issues But, as soon as my co-worker on Win7/TortoiseSVN deleted a file (via Samba), he gets (Q:\ points to this share): Commit succeeded, but other errors follow: Error bumping revisions post-commit (details follow): In directory 'Q:\webs\<censored>\trunk\images' Error processing command 'committed' in 'Q:\webs\<censored>\trunk\images' Can't set file 'Q:\webs\<censored>\trunk\images\.svn\prop-base\avatar_small.png.svn-base' read-write: Access is denied. and from then on, the working copy is so badly damaged (locked, missing files/directories), etc. that I haven't found a way to fix it. Examining the permissions on the file in question, it seems Subversion sets the access mode to r--r--r-- as to avoid tampering (?) and the Windows client isn't able to change it. The other reason might be that one user is changing the file another user owns, but they're in the same group. So, my question is: is there anybody out there who has a similar setup which in fact runs OK? Also, am I missing something obvious here (except for the weird SVN usage pattern)? Thanks, -- Dado
