Hmm...

I have no lslocks on FreeBSD; will lsof do?

In case, here's an excerpt:> samba     72462      root  txt     VREG       4,1302659313

IIUIC, it seems I have around 20 processes using secrets.tdb read/write, 
but no locks!

So I tried stopping Samba completely: now no process has secrets.tdb 
open; still tdbbackup gets stuck in _fcntl!!!

I'm open to suggestions...

  bye & Thanks

Some further step...

It's samba-tool itself that locks the file before calling tdbbackup.

Running "samba-tool domain backup offline ..." spawns "tdbbackup
-s
.copy.tdb /var/db/samba4/private/secrets.ldb -r", which gets stuck.

Running "tdbbackup -s .copy.tdb /var/db/samba4/private/secrets.ldb -r"
by itself completes without issues.



I read in domain_backup.py:

Could the problem be here?
I'm not attempting to alter this, before understanding it fully, though.

Is tdbbackup the one provided by the Samba build, or an earlier
(system) version?

We had to change the lock behaviour in tdb to make this work, if you
ran an older version it would do as you note.
