Hello,
System: Solaris 8/9
Samba: 3.02 and 3.06
We have problems with accessing files (from Windows XP) on a samba server
that are mounted over nfs (on the server). Some users have symlinks in
their home directories to nfs resources. When they try to copy file
located in nfs the client simply hangs. To make the thing even stranger:
Sometimes it also works (after restarting the samba server from time to
time)! Files mounted on a Solaris nfs server seem to be more affected
than files served by Linux.
On the server I can see the hanging smbd processes. truss -p tells me that
those processes are waiting for a file lock:
fcntl(11, F_SETLKW64, 0xFFBEEF38)
Here are some messages from the samba log (seems to be related with
Windows recognizing the hanging connection and starting a new one).
[2004/09/16 10:04:15, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(705)
diapp2 (134.30.6.13) connect to service dbi initially as user dbi

open_mode_check: exlusive oplock left by process 29465 after break ! For
file wwwhome/aktuell/aktuell_test.html, dev = 3f42873, inode = 1171213.
Deleting it to continue...
[2004/09/16 10:04:47, 0] smbd/open.c:open_mode_check(685)
open_mode_check: Existent process 29465 left active oplock.
Here are the relevant (I think) entries from smb.conf:
locking = yes
lock dir = /var/spool/locks/samba
kernel oplocks = no
oplocks = yes
level2 oplocks = yes
veto oplock files = /*.mdb/
posix locking = yes
Can you please help me to solve this?
Greetings
Andreas
