Hi Michael, Yeah, if someone is writing to a file in a Samba share, and another user opens it up, they'll be notified that the file is currently in use, and that it's available for read only.
This happens all of the time where I work (unfortunately). Depending on what kind of information is stored in your file, you may want to look into storing your data in a database. Hope this helps! --- Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Dykstra Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 10:20 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Unanswered question How long does one have to typically wait for an answer to a post? Tomorrow my message will have been up a week, and I've gotten no replies. It was about whether a file, while it was being written to, could subsequently be opened by another client for reading. I used a DVR with chasing play as an example. Didn't seem like that difficult of a question, but maybe it isn't geeky enough for some. (Or perhaps the answer is "No" and people are too embarrassed to admit Samba can't do it.) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
