Hi. I am having a problem with Samba 2.2.3a running
on Mandrake Linux 8.2. I posted this issue to the
comp.protocols.smb newsgroup and didn't get a
response. I am hoping that someone here can assist
me.
I setup a shared directory called SHARED in
/home/shared. /home is in its own ext3 partition. I
setup a group called "shared" that has rwx rights and
ownership of this directory. All of my samba users
are in this group.
I copied about 40gb of mp3 files from a computer
running XP Pro to this share without any problems. I
then started copying some old documents to the share.
At this point I started getting some strage errors.
The error is: "Cannot copy <file>: Access Denied. The
source file may be in use." At this point the target
directory has a 0-byte file with the same name as the
file that I was trying to copy.
So far I have seen this problem happen when trying to
copy files with .txt, .doc, .pdf, and .msi extensions.
All have various different file sizes under 3mb. At
one point I checked to see what rights were set to
these 0-byte files and found that they were different
than the other "good" files that were copied over. I
don't have with me right now what those rights were (I
am at work now and the Linux box is at home), but can
find out what it is if it would help to resolve the
problem.
Here is a copy of my samba.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0)
# Date: 2002/04/20 14:03:45
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = AN0MALY
server string = Samba Server %v
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192
SO_RCVBUF=8192
printcap name = lpstat
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
printing = cups
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using
client side printer
drivers.
browseable = No
[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
write list = @adm root
[shared]
comment = shared stuff
path = /home/shared
read only = No
I have tried some possible fixes that include setting
"write list" to the share "shared", and changing some
of the "mask" settings so the 0-byte files that are
created have the same rights as the "good" files.
Neither of these changes did anything to resolve my
problem.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone has to
offer me.
