similar to: DBase File locking issues (PR#20441)

Hi All, I am experiencing issues with the use of DBase files on a Samba 2.0.5a share, that appear to be due to locking problems. Basically, I have test programs for both DOS and Win32 that does nothing but append records to a DBase database (DBF/MDX files). If more than one client PC is appending to this file, data loss occurs. I get random data loss, with records lost, and index file

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everybody, I would like to run a login script that maps out the different shares on a RH 6.1 server running SAMBA 2.06. I have several Win98 and NT workstation clients that log into an NT domain and use my server for file and print services. The Samba server is not part of the domain. The clients currently have access to a share common to us

There seems to be a few people having this problem, but not much response. I've dug into the logs, and while I don't know exactly what I am looking at, I think I may have found something that may make sense to someone. A short recap. Samba was working fine, until I did a Debian security update, which upgraded my Samba to 2.2.8a. Now, I can create files on a mounted Samba share in a

Prior to upgrading from RH7.0 to RH7.3 our Samba filserver worked perfectly. Now we are having locking problems. Initially Iused the same samba binaries built on RH70, I tried rebuilding Samba and reinstalling but it had no effect. If user bon opens an M$-Office file they frequently get a 'file is already in use by bob'. Sure enough smbstatus -L shows the file locked by bob, but bob

Dear List, I'm struggling with the signature writing cbind/rbind functions for a S4 class. First of all, I'm very happy that it is now possible to dispatch on ... I follow the example for "paste" in ?dotMethods, which works as far as this: ### start example setClass ("cbtest", representation = representation (data = "data.frame"),

Hello, I've been working with a xBase database (similar to dBase) in a multiuser application. There are like 40 users working on the database on the same time reading and like 10 writing information. Sometimes the CDX files (Index Files) get corrupted and is it's necessary to pack the tables (rebuild the indexes). I have notice using the smbstatus -B command the following Pid

FWIW, i had the same problem (obtaining a byte-range lock with an offset of 0xeffffff0..0xefffffff) quite some time ago causing dBase IV on DOS machines with VLM clients to a mars_nwe server to fail to synchronize. The solution was probably the same as here, to fold this range into 0x7ffffffx. -- Morio Taneda admin,sociology,humanities,karlsruhe university,germany

Hello all, I have a samba 2.2.1a server running as the PDC of my network on a Mandrake 8.0 system with a reiserFS partition. I am serving for the win98 clients a small DOS clipper program with a DBF database. The programs run well on the workstations when there is only one user using it, when another user try to use the same program it starts to get very slow. I think this is a lock

Hello, I'm wondering just how critical it really is to turn off oplocks. It appears that not only Windows 2k server, but also Netware 5 and above defaults to having these enabled. I just spoke with two software companies running databases off of file servers (no database server, just MDAC stuff), and they had never heard of it, much less require it to be disabled. Everything I've

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

I'm running samba 2.0.7 on Solaris 2.6. We've have terrific success for well over a year with samba until about a week ago I started receiving reports that users could not open MS Office docs saved on a samba share. The samba logs are full of information about oplocks like this: [2001/03/07 10:14:04, 0] smbd/oplock.c:request_oplock_break(1204) request_oplock_break: no response

Hello, I have a server samba/linux executing a software Delphi with access to database Paradox. The configurations are OK, but when more than an user is accessing the system, he is very slow. How can I solve this problem? Regard?s F?bio Ferreira fabio@datafusion.com.br

Hello list We have some Fox Pro apps shared on Samba server (I know FOX sucks) and sometimes we need to recreate indexes, and we have to call all the users and ask them to close their programs. If we kill the user's smb process we got corrupted indexes... here's the question : is there any way to force the used files by an smb user process to close avoiding corruption, or perhaps make

Hello, I need my rails app to react to row additions on table in the dbase. Is there an elegant way to handle this in rails? Essentially I am treating the table as a sort of queue from which I pull items and process, one at a time. Thanks, Doug -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
