similar to: strict locking and kernel oplocks in the smb.conf

I need to temporarily disable a share for a few days, I remember there was an entry I could add to the share definition to temporarily disable the share (I think it was disabled=true or enabled=false) but I can't remember what it was for sure, nor can I find it in the manual. what is it ?

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

Hi, I see samba with ctdb locking has following mapping when kernel oplocks = yes. share mode reservations = flock(2) posix byte range locking = fcntl(2) SMB locks (mandatory) = ctdb using brlock.tdb oplocks = fcntl(2) using F_SETLEASE Am I correct or I am missing something? I hope only SMB range locks are implemented with tdb, all else are being used from filesystem. What

Hi! I'm trying to understand how various ways to grant a file lease to (windows) clients works. Especially in context when files are being modified locally on the linux filesystem. For example, there's this wording in man smb.conf: kernel share modes ... Kernel share modes provide a minimal level of interoperability with local UNIX processes and NFS operations by

In order to deal with bizarre MS Office junk, it looks like I may have to disable oplocks on my samba server. What kinds of problems, if any could arise from my having disabled the oplocks? Alex Laslavic Havertys Tech Services

Hi List, I have a file server which runs samba-3.0.28a. My aim is to share a logical volume ( with XFS filesystem) using SAMBA, NFS and FTP. Since it is a file server I?m very much concerned about file locking. After googling and reading a lot I had set file locking flags in smb.conf ?lock directory = /var/lock/samba strict locking = no locking = yes level2 oplocks = no kernel oplocks

Hi all, We are considering moving our VSS database from a Win2K server to a samba server. All clients are Win2K clients. I used the VSS tool "testlock.exe" to make sure the native lock mode can be used. The test was successful, and I saw that an SMBlock transaction was performed, and a reply_lockingX was replied. When I opened a VSS database on the samba server and started to use it -

Hi Lan with S4 and built-in file server for Windows clients. nfs for Linux clients. We are using LibreOffice to share documents and file locking works fine. The first guy to open the doc gets the lock and a message is displayed on other clients (windows or Linux) that the file is open. Fine Some users must however use Word 2010 to edit documents. Then file locking doesn't work: anyone

The kernel on my server appears to be refusing oplocks altogether. Setting 'kernel oplocks = no' resolved the issue. Is there any caveats I should be aware of? - Chris Wagner -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+chriswagner=amyskitchen.net@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+chriswagner=amyskitchen.net@lists.samba.org]On Behalf Of Chris Wagner Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006

SuSE 7.2, Samba 2.2.6 User plaform WIN98se Was wondering if someone could point me to information regarding oplocks (I read the man on smb.conf regarding that and level2 oplocks)... I needed to set oplocks = no and level2 oplocks = no in order for them to be able to open pagemaker files from the samba server...otherwise it would say 'can not open file' I am just trying to get a grip on

Hello! When I'm set oplocks to Yes I'm getting "Oplock break failed for file %s" and files (.doc .xls and .jpg|png etc) take forever to load When I set oplocks to No files opening o.k. but MS Word is saying that they are Read Only. Permissions are 100% fine. The client is Windows 7 Enterprise. Please help.... this is so important to me :( Was it resolved in SAMBA

I have a problem with file locking on different platforms. System environment: Samba Server 2.2.3.a on Red Hat 7.3 Some Windows 2000 Clients with MS-Office 2000 and OpenOffice 1.0.1 Some Red Hat 8.0 Clients with Open Office 1.0.1 The Linux Clients mounts the Samba Shares with smbmount: smbmount //<Server/shares> $HOME/path -o

About two months ago our sysadmin upgraded to samba 2.2.7 and we have not had any oplock problems since. A heartfelt thanks from the University of Wisconsin in Madison to the Samba team for all their hard work. If our hundreds of users understood what was going on behind the scenes, they'd be thanking you too. --- Sam Barasch Computer Systems Support Department of Biostatistics

I'm using samba version 2.2.1a on a linux RH7.2 kernel 2.4.7-10. I'm having a lot of oplock problems, specially when using office applications like word. I would like to know: 1. what is the recommended configuration in version 2.2.1a (oplocks = yes/no , level2 oplocks = yes/no , kernel oplocks = yes/no) 2. what is considered to be a stable version for oplocks usage Thanks, Nir

This is just a quick question, what is the difference between "+" and "@" when using groups for say valid users or write list ex valid users = +staff valid users = @staff -- Kent L. Nasveschuk <kent@wareham.k12.ma.us>

Hi We've here some problems with Samba on a freeBSD-Server. FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE Samba Version 3.0.25a The problem is about locking of open files. For example when a user A opens a excel-sheet and a user B also opens the same file, user B won't only open this file as read-only. We moved from a Windows Server to a freebsd based one about 2 weeks ago and we also had some problems with dbs

I posted a question earlier (below) regarding two instances of samba on the same machine. Unfortuneately my question only elicited questions. Can anyone tell me whether samba locks and Unix locks pay well together? Will samba notice unix locks aaaaand vice versa? I _did_ look at the documentation but I think it was very out of date. (e.g. UNIX-SMB.txt in samba 2.2.3 says that "Unix has

Hi Can anyone advise me on "kernel oplocks" in a ctdb cluster. I have a ctdb (GPFS is the parallel file system) setup that uses samba (3.5.8) for cifs and IBM CNFS for NFS. Reading the documentation on kernel oplocks it seems to me that I can export the same area via samba and NFS with "kernel oplocks = Yes" . My logic is that IBM CNFS has shared NFS locking
