[Samba] POSIX-Share fails with NFS-mounts

[Christian Keck]

Hello all,

my problem has been sorted out meanwhile:
Surprisingly the reason was enabled ACLs on the file system of the NFS-server.
For some reasons this resulted in inaccessible shares in samba while the mounted folders still could be accessed by the users via shell.
However, removing the ACL-structures on the server solved the sharing problems within samba.
Maybe this could help someone else, too.

kind regards,
Christian Keck

It works with a limited feature set, see 'kernel oplocks' in 'man smb.conf'.

However we do not really support this and recommend to solve it this way.
