Hello, i am running Samba 2.2.3a on a Red Hat Linux 7.3 box with kernel 2.4.18-10. I am experiencing some problems on a particular samba share, which is accessed by 10 Windows 98SE clients working on a COBOL production packet by mapping with a G: letters this samba folder. Well, some times a day it happens that this packed blocks because some files on that samba folder remains locked; i

Hello, all. I'm using Samba 2.2.2 at my FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE server, and have next problems: There is pool of W2K machines, each starting compilation job (usually 2 at one dual CPU machine). Then these jobs trying to simultaneously access sources, located at Samba server, appear problems. Then I running 2 compilation threads from single machine - there is no problems.

Hello, I'm running a samba 3.0.14a server in production on a fedora core 3 (kernel 2.6.9-1.667smp) with a least 250 clients (XP Pro SP2) (up to 400 sometimes). A few days ago, a problem appeared with a soft that we are using for a long time. (Petit Robert, a french dictionnary). When someone launch the dictionnary, many clients are freezed when they try to access to the "start

We're using CentOS samba for about 20 workstations, mostly XP, some 2000 and two win98. Samba shares a data directory with Word, Excel and Access documents/db's. Also Exact for Dos is running from this share (executable and data). The users experience a long delay every morning opening the first Word document (Word 97, Word 2000). This could take 10 minutes or so. If they close

Hello, last friday I switched my users from an old server running 2.2.12 to a new one running 3.0.10 (that I've been testing myself and with smbtorture). After a while I had to switch back to the old server because some users were having serious problems. This is one of the logs (the others are very similar): [2005/03/04 12:25:05, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)

Hello list! I've seen the threads in this months archives on oplock issues, so I hope I am not hitting a sore spot by bringing it up again. The reason I am beating on this is that I've got a testable, repeatable issue with Win2K terminal server (SP2) running CorelDRAW 10 (patched to current) against a Debian Woody box running Samba 2.2.3a-6 for Debian. Since I can repeatedly test the

Hi all, Jeremy, after trying to add kernel oplocks = no I got the same errors as describes in my last post. (samba working, but some folders not accessible, even not from commandline unix, can't kill smbd processes......) This is what happens in the log file: any ideas ?

Dear Samba team. I have hybrid network with MSDOS / Win9x(ME) / Win2k/XP(NT) computers at home. I'm using Samba as PDC. W9x/me clients works fine as so as with roving profiles, but I'm experiencing problems with w2k, NT4/XP just not test because i'm testing on my box at home and when it'll work fine then I'll go to clients from which smaller part has XPs installed on PC.

Hi Alexander, Not sure if this of any help, but we had a similar problem with runaway SMBDs and what seemed to be oplocks. We are running RH6.2 with 0.7.26 ACLs. After much messing around and hassling Jeremy, I eventually changed the kernel from 2.2.19 to 2.2.20 and recompiled everything from scratch. Since then we have not had one of these rogue processes. I think Jeremy was right when he

Hi, i have a problem with access xp (2002) database files after moving the files to the linux files server. really often (6 times today) the database file is corrupt. i am running samba 2.2.5 on linux mandrake 8.2 with kernel 2.4.18. i have read that this has something to do with the file locking, but don't know what to do right now. i've set the parameter "veto oplock files =

I've used oplocks = no for a long time now, because of the famous "oplock_break" error, but I decided to give 2.0.7 a try. I still get "oplock break" errors as before, but this time I got a new error too: [2000/05/02 10:04:52, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(976) oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds. oplock_break failed for file XXXXX/xxxxxx/mailbox.pst

Hi everyone, Trying to copy a 3.5MB file from a Windows 2000 workstation to a FreeBSD 4.6.2 server running samba-2.2.6.p2. The 3.5MB file is an MS Access file called MoldFE.mdb. After a few seconds of copying the file, a message box pops up on the W2K workstation that states "Cannot copy MoldFE: The specified network name is no longer available". In /var/log/messages, I see this:

I would really appreciate some help figuring out why one of my students has "disappeared" from the user list, and what to do about it. I'm using Samba3 on Fedora; the client machines are running WinXP. The system has been up and running since the beginning of September. Today one of my 4th-graders was unable to log on; she didn't read the error message carefully, so she

Hi all, I use samba 2.2.2 on AIX 4.3.2 (1500 NT4 sp6a / w2k sp2 workstation). since i had updated from 2.0.7 to 2.2.2 the CPU load will very fast go to 100% an d teh memory use of a smbd process will grow up to 100 MB. In teh log-files are many errors like that: PANIC: open_mode_check: Existant process 22700 left active oplock smbd/open.c:open_mode_check(555) open_mode_check: exlusive oplock

Hello there. I'm having a few problems using samba 2.2.3a and sharing a paradox database. On the whole everything works fine but (there's always a but), every now and again. a machine's shares will close causing the database to crash (sometimes only that machine) - the other networked machine recover after a few error messages. I guess the easy answer would be to disable oplocks

For some strange reason, a samba setup which was previously working has suddenly stopped working, and I can't figure out why. The symptoms is that attempts to write some files onto a samba filesystem take a long time, and then error out with the error message (in Windows dialog box): "Cannot create or replace <filename>: The specified network resource or device is no longer

I'm using samba 2.1 pre-alpha. When I right click an .exe file on the most shares, explorer freezes, and must be killed to recover. The problem doesn't show up on the home shares, but appears on any other shares I create. I've experienced this problem on many different workstations. Looking at the logs, it seems to be a problem with oplocks; the part of the log that seems to apply is
