Hello, Iam facing a problem in locking of files across samba shares. We have samba 3.0.10 running on Solaris 9 with the smb.conf as follows. # Global parameters [global] workgroup = NMUINT netbios name = NMUINTFS interfaces = <IP> bind interfaces only = Yes security = DOMAIN password server = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX log level = 1 ldap

We have a server which runs Samba and Apache. Web developers edit their files (via Windows mapped drives) from Windows XP SP2. These files are typically CGI files and the developers' routine is: while (web page not quite right) { 1. Edit file 2. Save 3. Click Reload on web browser 4. Check results } They go around that loop many times during a typical development run.

Hi, I'm having some trouble with locking between GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows. I wrote some Clipper code that run's on GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows (compiled to different binaries ofcourse) that tries to lock a file on a Samba share. Between Microsoft Windows clients there is no problem. The locking works as expected. If one client does an EXCLUSIVE lock, the other's can't

Hi there, Let me first tell you our setup.... I'm at a school (actually 2 but who is counting) with approx 1000 students in a NT domain. In the past we have had problems with students consuming more diskspace than was intended. First we tried to enforce a quota using kix, but the little 'rats' soon figured a way around that. To overcome that we started using an Linux setup with

I'm running rsync 2.5.6 on windows (via cygwin) and I've had other processes try to open the same files as rsync, but could not get through sometimes. Does rsync place a shared lock or an exclusive lock on the files it will copy from? I checked into the sources but did not find any use of flock() which could specify either LOCK_SH or LOCK_EX, so I'm not sure what the open() does when

Hi, I've got data stored in multiple files on a shared file system. I wish to have multiple processes/hosts read and write to these files simultaneously. When a process wish to write to a file no other processes may write to nor read from the file. If no process is writing to the file, any number of processes may read from it. ...and the solution should be very simple and work

Hi, I'm using Maildir with dovecot .99, I'm getting some errors with fcntl locks. Do I still need to use a locking mechanism if I'm using maildir with pop3 access. For reasons I won't go into I cant upgrade from .99 to version one at the time. I'm getting this error with some users, I have tried to manually delete the .imap.index file but the error comes back, any thoughts?

I'm running a samba pdc on my gentoo box in a mixed environment with a couple of Windows XP clients and only a few MacOSX clients. The users told me, the file locking across the platforms does not work properly sometimes. I tried to google my problem, but without luck. I switched all the flags related the lock mechanism of samba on and off, but the problem seems to be solved yet. The only

Hi, Greetings of the day, Our configuration is like: We have installed both glusterFS server and GlusterFS client on node1 as well as node2. We have mounted node1 volume to both nodes. Our use case is : >From glusterFS node 1, we have to take an exclusive lock and open a file (which is a shared file between both the nodes) and we should write/read in that file. >From glusterFS node 2, we

Hello, I'd like to make sure my understanding of the mbox locking strategy is correct : - "mbox_dotlock_change_timeout" directive : a process seeing that an already locked (by another process) mbox he want to access hasn't change for this amount of time, allows himself to override the lock ? If it's using fcntl, is it only possible to override ? -

Hi, I am using a small network of, say, 10 W2K workstations on which I run a database application using shared table and index files on a Samba 2.2.2 server (Suse Linux 7.2). The application was just ported from Clipper to XBase++. The Clipper compiled app (it's a 16-bit DOS application) runs fine. The 32-bit XBase++ app produces corrupt index files and behaves eratically after several

We have encountered a locking problem with multi-user Tracker 97 against Tracker data files on a Samba server. I do not believe it is related to erroneous smb.conf settings. If two separate users attempt to edit the same record, Tracker refuses the second request if a Win95 server or NT server is used, but allows the second request if a Samba server is used. Subsequently, the data files under

Hi all, I'm trying to run a program off a network drive, however it insists on locking the DLL files it loads, so that no other process can access them (even read-only.) This means that only one person can run the program at a time, as opposed to the entire office running it at the same time. It looks like the option "share modes = no" will solve this, but before enabling it for

Hello, I am a linux newbie not to mention Samba, I am searching for a Linux alternative to Windows Sharing.... I have configured a Samba share on a RHLE 5u6 with the following settings: [global] workgroup = TEST netbios name = MDC2 security = share kernel oplocks = yes blocking locks = yes oplocks = yes level2 oplocks = yes [test2] path = /test read only =no guest ok = yes browsable = yes

I know this has come up before....but.. I've got a locking issue I can't get over. Situation: --------- Unix writes a file to the /tmp directory MS-DOS (WFW 3.11) copys over the file (copy d:\file.txt ), locking it, and not releasing the lock. If Unix subsequently changes the file a re-issuing of the MS-DOS 'copy' command will appear to work ... but the MS-DOS file is
