Samba vs Windows Clients Lock File

[ricasthenuke]

Hi,

I have Samba 3.0 on a CentOS machine, and i'm having problems with the locking files system...

Does samba lock a file when an user open a file? Oplocks, don't lock a file to read only...


Help?

Thanks,
Ricardo

And what about this in your smb.conf ?
level2 oplocks = Yes

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi,

i can block winword files, excel files.. but txt no... a windows xp can open the file and another windows xp do the same, and they can write at the same time to the file with level2 oplocks or without level2 oplocks

This is the windows XP program that should instruct samba to lock the txt file (as word and excel do)

Hi,

If you use oplocks=yes, samba detects that a program is using a file, but samba don't lock the file, insted it switch in read mode write mode..
