samba - Mar 2021 - Revit worksharing error

Perttu

If you don't have problems with other file types then you probably ought to
start with Autodesk for support - Revit is
their product.  Of course if they diagnose an actual problem with Samba then we
can try and help you with that.

By the way, any other changes apart from updating from a pretty old version of
Samba?

Cheers
Jon

Hi Jon,

No other changes other than ugprading Ubuntu and Samba, smb.conf stayd the same.

I?m almost certain that if I contact Autodesk support they will say that Samba
is untested and unsupported and they recommend using Windows Server. My hunch is
that it?s some small compatibility difference that causes the problem. For
example Revit expecting Windows ACLs but POSIX ACLs being in use right now, or
some sort of locking issue. I?ll post an update if I find out more details.
