similar to: Quickbooks files can't be shared w/ 3.0.11

Hi guys, How are you keeping ? I use 'smbmount' and a custom script to mount remote shares from Windows desktops and back them up to a Linux server. Everything works great except that I get "Resource deadlock avoided" when trying to copy 'Outlook.pst'. This of course is due to users' having their Outlook open when my backup script runs. Is anyone aware of a way to

I have a level 10 debug of the smbd/oplock process_local_message problem but can still not figure out what causes the unknown UDP message command code. I checked the source but could only see that this is an invalid opcode command. Anyone a clue what is happening here ? Might wrong opcode commands crash samba ?

I updated samba to samba-2.0.7-4 (RedHat RPM). That didn't help. I changed the file ownership to user.group from user.user. That didn't help. I changed the file permissions to -rwxrwxr-- as you had suggested, and then it worked. (QuickBooks 99 needs *both* the file permissions set as noted *and* the ownership also.) However, when everyone closes QuickBooks the QBI file is deleted, and

Hi there, Can somebody please explain to me why Samba 3 requires 'oplocks = no' on shares for programs like Quickbooks to operate properly with multiple users, where Samba 2 didn't? Without this option, Quickbooks will complain about file corruption when a second user tries to open a file. This option, however, makes the particular share that the option is present in _very_ slow

Hello, I upgraded from Samba 3.0.2 to 3.0.4 on my Redhat Enterprise system and am now seeing something very strange with POSIX ACL?s. We have several shared directories setup with per-directory group permissions (In other words each directory has its own group in active directory). This way if we want to give a user access to a directory we just add them to the group. After upgrading too 3.0.4

Hello, I am having to major issues with Mac clients on our samba server. One has to do with how the Mac vs. the PC locks files and the other has to do with a very slow connection to one of our larger shares. 1.) File locking issue: I am having a strange problem occur with shared excel and word files being opened by multiple users. The problem appears to be a result of a Mac opening the file

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

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

Dear All, we've been having some intermittent problems with students who's home directories are on a Sun E450 running Samba 2.0.6. I'm not totally convinced that the problem is caused by the server, but may be the network. However, I've had a look at the log.smb file and I'm seeing some error messages that I've not come across before: [2001/02/23 18:20:40, 0]

I have a directory shared out via Samba for Quickbooks and seem to have some issues with permissions. The directory being shared is a subdirectory in an ext3 partition being mounted with the acl option. It has been setup as follows: chown root:DOMAIN\AD_Group /mnt/Intuit_Data/ chmod 2770 /mnt/Intuit_Data/ And the Samba share config is has: create mask = 0660 directory mask =

The error message is the usual panic error - 3.0.11 and FreeBSD 4.8. Samba 3.0.8 ran fine with the same config (admittedly there were a few roaming profile sync related crashes, which is why I was upgrading). Now however I can't even connect - it crashes immediately, respawns and crashes again. My Samba server is a domain member of a Win2003 domain controller used for roaming profile

We are trying to troubleshoot slow performance. A lot of my NT client log files show messages like this about oplock break issues.

My Windows 2003 machines can get to shares on my older Samba servers (2.2.8a), however on newer versions of Samba (3.0.2), I get the following error message: \\servername is not accessible.

At our organization, we're currently gradually migrating the workstations from Windows 98 to Windows XP, while retaining the use of our samba server as a PDC. For those who may remember my previous post, our upgrade to Samba 3.0.11 from an ancient version (2.2.3) I inherited went extremely well, and I was thoroughly impressed how little I had to change to get everything running. Anyways,

I've got an aggravating problem as described in the subject line above. I have a small home network with a Linux box running Samba and acting as both local and domain master browser and WINS server. Also on the network are a desktop PC (Dell 1.4 GHz P4) running Windows 2000 Professional and a laptop running Windows XP Professional. The problem occurs when I try to copy a file over 1 MB

So, I got Quickbooks 2008 working in the latest WINE, and Ubuntu 11.04. Problems happen when I try and open an existing company file. It wants to update, and then updating fails, and then the whole shebang fails to load after that. I even tried copying the Quickbooks folder from the other system (just need to change the license) to make the updates more complete. Same exact problem. It crashes on

Hello! I'm running Samba 2.2.8a on top of a ext3 filesystem with ACLs enabled.
