Unable to delete files from samba share (Windows XP x64 SP2)

[okmanoj at indiatimes.com]

Dear Volker,

It will be very helpful, if you can suggest your opinion about this issue.

Also is it Possible to delete all the files always? Since this share will never be used for writing any data.

Is it possible to get any workaround for this issue?

Regards
Manoj

Dear Volker,

While further Study, I can see "Query File Internal" info for "Page0006.xps" packet number 2517 as below

SMB:C; Transact2, Query File Info, Query File Internal Info, FID = 0x1774 (\DOC280211\Page0006.xps@#2515)

This packet is not present for any other file deletion (Page0001.xps, Page0002.xps.......Page0005.xps).

My doubt is if Samba is holding resource (File handle) in this query?? If so samba will give delete error in such case.

Please clarify my doubt.

Also can can you help me identifying if this packet is suppose to come or not.

Thank you for spending time with this issue.

Regards
Manoj

Dear Volker,

Thank you for your suggestion, i have confirmed same setup with windows XPx86 (SP3) as samba server and used same Windows XP x64 SP2 (which i used against samba 3.3.14 server).

I am not able to reproduce this scenario (tested 30 times), i am able to delete all the files.

Regards,
Manoj

Can you try the same operation with the files stored on a
Windows server (A Windows workstation with a share is also
fine)?

Thanks,

Volker
