[Samba] overwriting files used by many users

[Erik Holst Trans]

Hi,

Please try to add the line below to your smb.conf and restart the Samba service.
After restart there should be a lot of files in the /var/lock/samba directory.

The strict locking option should normaly not be used.

You can read about it at -> man smb.conf


lock directory = /var/lock/samba
locking = yes
# strict locking = yes



Best regards

//Erik
