[Samba] Mode 0x1b4 errors in logs, unable to save Word documents

[Adam Nielsen]

Hi all,

Our users have started to complain that some of the time they're unable
to save Word documents to our Samba drive - Word tells them the disk
is full. I had a look at the logs, and there are a lot of weird
"Function not implemented" errors. These have been there for a while,
but the "Operation not permitted" ones seem new.  Nothing on the server
has changed.

What's this "mode 0x1b4"?  This is with Samba 3.0.21rc2 - does anyone
know if these issues have been changed in a newer release?  I wonder
whether it's possible to silently fail here to stop Word from giving a
"disk full" error message.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Adam.
