?We are trying to migrate a Dos based btrieve application from Windows NT to Samba 4?.1.6-Ubuntu. Running one client works, running more that one client do not work. I searched Google and there are many historic pages about issues related to the btrieve / Samba combination. Are there stable solutions of this issue? Kind Regards Hendre

Hello fellow samba users, I have installed quite a couple of samba fileservers so far. There are exactly two installations which give me real hard time, and both have to do with Win9x clients running applications based on ... *sigh* btrieve. What I do server-sided is switch on opportunistic locking (level2 oplocks = yes). Without this, the applications don't run at all, at least not on more than one client. Now, after a while, problems appear. Suddenly I get btrieve errors and whole files are reported as unreadable. I'm not...

Hello out there, recently I posted a trouble report about my Samba/btrieve experience. I have encountered the worst case scenario - corrupt databases... I had a brief correspondency with Dave Collier-Brown (whose book on Samba can't be praised enough) about this, in which he told me that working under the same login a) network-wide and b) application-wide could lead...

Hello there, I have a serious file locking problem with samba on a RH6 based Linux machine. >From the exported share a database files are being requested. Problem is, only one client can access these - and even only one client can initialize the database query engine, which is btrieve 6.15 workstation engine. The same problem affects .doc files. If one client has an open document, the file is locked in such a way the other clients can' even open it to read it. The only way I found to let more than one client run the application and open documents was to set SHARE MODES to NO...

...cannot overwrite files that it seems to have "open" - when using an NT server this should work. long :) I have following problem with my Samba server: It is serving for a "distributed" (serves three workstations) proprietary app. That app mostly reads and modifies files thru Btrieve ( I don't like it but I have no choice ) using local btr dll's, I am not running a btrieve server. This app has an "update" (sub)program, that prog is called from within the app and calls windows' "file copy operations" (as far as I can tell the standard windows...

Hi I have a Btrieve5 database I want to migrate to a samba share for multiuser access on a RedHat server. The database currently runs on an NT workstation with multiple users accessing the data. When multiple users connect to the samba share the database becomes corrupted. How do I set my samba to duplicate all the at...

Hallo. Our Samba Server is used to provide a DOS program that uses the DOS database btrieve. Sometimes the opening and using of these programs is very slow. There seem to come no data from the server. The programm has very much files in one directory (ca. 50.000). Is this a problem? the opening of a program "sleeps" sometimes for 1 Minute. If we put the windows into the backgr...

Hi everyone, Just today one of our users informed me that a file she was working on in Microsoft Excel 97 got corrupted. She was working on the file directly on our server, which is running Samba 2.2.3a compiled using gcc-3.0.4 on Linux kernel 2.4.17-xfs and XFS-based filesystems. I checked the Samba logs for her machine and found the following in a search for the filename of the Excel file she

Hi, I'm running smbd 2.2.8. I'm a little green when it comes to file locking with samba. I have two users that access a single data file on a FreeBSD box. It's a moneydance data file and obviously it gets messed-up if two users are writing to it at the same time. Is there a way with samba to stop a second instance of the file from being opened, something like a "File In
