[Samba] upgrading print server from 2.2.8a to 3.0.8 - more info

[Scott McCallum]

Here's what I sent yesterday, more info follows:
> Hello.  I'm having a bit of trouble with my upgrade.  I installed 3.0.8
> over a copy of the 2.2.8a directory, and when I went to start it up, got
> errors about accessing the secrets.tdb.  I was able to use tdbdump to

Log entries from samba3 startup:

tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
  tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_lock spinlock
failed on list 103 ltype=1

tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
  tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_lock spinlock
failed on list 103 ltype=0

tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
  tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_lock spinlock
failed on list 0 ltype=1

tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
  tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_lock spinlock
failed on list 103 ltype=1

tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
  tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_unlock: count
is 0


... and then it lists the same set of messages for ntprinters.tdb, and
again for each of those two files any time samba attempts to access
them.
