32/64bit locking problem with 2.2.2

[Juergen Bock]

Hi there, 

I have a quite ugly problem with a Samba server. The server is 
running Linux 2.4.13 and Samba 2.2.2. The NFS-client is running 
Linux 2.4.5. The windows homedirs are on \\server\username, the 
UNIX homedirs are NFS mounted by the server.
So, whenever I access \\server\username this actually NFS-mounts 
/nfs/client/home/username. I now have one client machine that 
causes the following error:

[2001/11/05 19:17:56, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(669)
  posix_fcntl_lock: WARNING: lock request at offset 2147483538, length 1 returned
[2001/11/05 19:17:56, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(670)
  an No locks available error. This can happen when using 64 bit lock offsets
[2001/11/05 19:17:56, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(671)
  on 32 bit NFS mounted file systems.
[2001/11/05 19:17:56, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(650)

When I access the user's homedirectory through the samba server, 
the whole windows box hangs and gives stupid error messages. I 
don't use oplocks.

Has anybody seen this problem? Is this Samba related or do you 
suspect an NFS problem? I think I have not seen this problem 
when the server ran kernel 2.4.3 and Samba 2.2.1a. 

If you need any additional info please let me know.

TIA
J.B.
