SAMBA problem report - file deletion failure

[COLLOT Jean-Yves]

Hi.

If the problem happens again, it would be most interesting to know if the
files were actually NOT deleted, or if they were, but they seem to stay
anyway because their names remained in the cache.
The best way to know that, obviously, is to check on the VMS side if the
file is there or not.

Objet : SAMBA problem report - file deletion failure

I have encountered a problem that was reproducible on 3 different
workstations
accessing a common Samba/VMS server.

Sample files created using both "DOS" window and GUI, and deleted using
both "DOS" window and GUI.
Confirming message and file display removal occurred normally with the
GUI.

Subsequent DIR or GUI view refresh showed the file had in fact *not*
been deleted.

[SAMBA] LOG.workstation, LOG.SMBD and LOG.NMBD were reviewed without any
apparent correlation in time between the delete problems and any logged
error conditions.

SAMBA server subsystem was recycled, problem retested, had disappeared.

Problem not reproducible.

Alpha/Samba V2.2.8 release  20041021 plus subsequent patches.
OpenVMS/Alpha V7.3-2 w/patches, TCPIP 5.4 ECO 2.

This report is supplied to primary make users and developers aware of an
anomaly, in the hope that others may contribute related reports that
would permit subsequent troubleshooting.
