If found a solution , but I'am not sure of the consequences ...
I added in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
lock directory = /var/lock/samba
locking = yes
strict locking = no
Is it the recommended solution ?

Hello,
whenever I try to copy a new file from windowsXP (2K also) to a samba
share which is NFS mounted on the samba server, I get an error on the
client: "impossible to copy file.txt: the process cannot access the
file because an other process has locked a part of it" (my english
translation of the french message I have !)
It worked fine before (3weeks ago) and I think that problem appeared
when I upgraded my NFS server, because the samba server running
directly on that NFS server work fine (no lock pb) ,
I tried looking through samba locking mechanisms, but I'am a bit lost
in there:
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/locking.html
I blindly tested
[homes]
veto oplock files = /filename.htm/*.txt/
or
[global]
kernel oplocks = yes
with no success !
Do you have an idea ? is it a samba problem ? an NFS problem ? a
windows client problem ?
I've got undred of users "locked" :-(
Thanks .
PS:
Here's my samba server system config:
bash-3.00# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz)
bash-3.00# rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-common-3.0.23a-1.fc4.1

here's the NFS server config on wich samba works fine (local disk
access !)
