[Samba] delete file being transferred

[Chaojie.Xiao at emc.com]

I am currently using lvm snapshot. if I am uploading a big file to samba share folder and during the transmission I want to make a snapshot with lvcreate for the volume where share folder is.

If I make snapshot when file is still transferred it might exist some issue because the file is not complete. 

So I want to know is there any method to delete the file that is being transferred if I want to make a snapshot.

What exactly are you trying to achieve ? What kind of snapshots
are you using, and why do you have to stop Samba to do this ?

Sounds like you might need a custom VFS module to communicate
with your snapshot service ?
