Hello, System: Solaris 8/9 Samba: 3.02 and 3.06
We have problems with accessing files (from Windows XP) on a samba server that are mounted over nfs (on the server). Some users have symlinks in their home directories to nfs resources. When they try to copy file located in nfs the client simply hangs. To make the thing even stranger: Sometimes it also works (after restarting the samba server from time to time)! Files mounted on a Solaris nfs server seem to be more affected than files served by Linux. On the server I can see the hanging smbd processes. truss -p tells me that those processes are waiting for a file lock: fcntl(11, F_SETLKW64, 0xFFBEEF38) Here are some messages from the samba log (seems to be related with Windows recognizing the hanging connection and starting a new one). [2004/09/16 10:04:15, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(705) diapp2 (134.30.6.13) connect to service dbi initially as user dbi (uid=1250, gid=11211) (pid 29469) [2004/09/16 10:04:47, 0] smbd/oplock.c:request_oplock_break(1023) request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 294 65 on port 39192 for dev = 3f42873, inode = 1171213, file_id = 218 [2004/09/16 10:04:47, 0] smbd/open.c:open_mode_check(681) open_mode_check: exlusive oplock left by process 29465 after break !
