Greetings, I've been using samba for a few years now sharing files from the local filesystems without a hitch. Recently I have tried to throw into the mix read only samba shares of read only nfs mounts. I can browse these shares but any attempt to copy files from them seems to reset the connection. Windows says the resource is unavailable.
On the Debian system that is sharing the file I see that these resets leave smb processes that don't exit for whatever user tried to copy from the share. I have dozens of them hanging around four hours after the last time I had tried to connect during which time the windows machine has been powered off. I see other smb processes that are days old from when other users have tried to copy from the same shares. What settings are required to make a read only samba share work on a read only nfs mount? I have tried faking or not using optlocks in the shares and of course writable=no. Does it matter that the nfs mounted share is a local nfs export? I was experimenting with rsync snapshot backups to provide 'support yourself' backups to users as described here: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ I think this would have been covered/solved somewhere but it seems to be beyond my searching skills. I saw many posts talking about how samba sharing a nfs read only mount should work fine, but no details of the configuration or issues similar to mine.
