VFS - Making A File copy

[Chetana]

The file copying seems to work finenow. I was using the same inode number
sbuf->st_ino = 1 for every stat , fstat and lstat calls. This was solved by
changing sbuf->st_ino = fd * 10 for fstat .
However I am still using sbuf->st_ino = 1 for all stat and lstat calls.
On seeing from explorer I get "file inaccessible" or "disk full" error
while trying to modify word documents .I wonder if this dummy inode is the
culprit??
And I have set "locking = no" in smb.conf.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks and Regards,
Chetana


Have you tried disabling locking? Samba can handle internally locking if
the system do not support it.

No need, if you donot support it, just disable it in the share through
proper smb.conf options.
