Gentlemen, I am running a RH9 - Samba PDC ( 3.0.1pre3) in a mixed W9X/XP/NT production environment and encountered a problem related to locked files. By tracing down the event I suspect it might have happened when a certain user tried to copy a large number of files from an NT server on to the Samba server. The process resulted in a list of locked files that remained there until a smb restart. Below is my event log related to that.
However I discovered other files staying locked as well , not in relation with big transfers . Can you please tell me what circumstances might favour such unwanted locking situations? And what are the odds for file corruption in such cases? And final question: What is the safest upgrade method from a preliminary version - rpm package - ( 3.0.1pre3, my case) to the latest stable one? Simply removing the rpms and installing the new ones by preserving the conf and smbpasswd file?
