samba - Mar 2021 - Revit worksharing error

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.

Perttu

Are you able to try incremental upgrades?  For example 4.10.5 -> 4.11.last
(test) -> 4.12.last (test.)  That might help
narrow down the problem to a particular version.  Then we can check out the
changelogs.

Cheers
Jon
