[Samba] samba 3.0 problems with word files and possible other msoffice files

[Christian Nabski]

A follow-up on my own message. :-)
I tried a few other things yesterday. 

A problem is also (like another poster said) that I don't see a difference 
in rights of some directories.
With one dir word doesn't save the files and with another it does.

So I have 2 directories in problem_share :

problem_share|dir/dir1 --> word doesn't save the files (memory or disk 
space msword error) 
problem_share|dir/dir2 --> word saves without problem

both dirs have the same rights.

Now I tried this :
- enabled all oplocks 

problem_share|dir/dir1 --> word saves the file ! but takes a long time to 
finalize (it looks like word has crashed but returns after approx 30s a 
1min)
problem_share|dir/dir2 --> word saves without problem (no delays)



Finally I tried this : 
- enabled all oplocks and copied the files to a new directory 
Till now I heard no problems. Let's see how it behaves today and next 
week.


The disk config is 4 disks in raid 5 with raid ctrl.
I described the problem with 1 problem dir but there were also other 
directories with problems.
