[Samba] Problem saving files from XP to Samba on 2.2.6pre2

[Glen Gibb]

Hi team,

I've got a problem with a WinXP client being unable to save a document to
a Samba share. The server is running 2.2.6pre2 (on FreeBSD 4.6).

The XP client hangs for a VERY long time when attempting to save a file
(at least the first file saved - the problem seems to diminish for
subsequent saves/files).

Turning the debug level to 3 produces the following messages (repeated
many many times, with the Transaction # increasing by 1 each time. It
appears to repetitively find the same 2 files:

This also keeps appearing in the logs after the save has completed.


Any suggestions/workarounds/fixes? Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance
