we
have to figure out, where exactly the problem lies. I have tried with
different kernels
2.4.16 through 2.4.19 but have not yet been able to solve this issue.
If I were you I would be very careful about moving the database as things
are
right now. I suggest that you at least run a very lengthy
concurrent paradox stress
test (from multiply workstations) before moving.
You could have a copy of my DOS testprogram, but it's in Danish
and I have never
translated it to English.
The program was written as we had problems with database corruption when
moving a
financial database from Netware to Windows NT3.5.
The reason I posted the original message is that I'm really interested in
knowing how
Samba has been stress tested.
