Hi guys,
we're running a samba server on a sles 9 with sp2. The server hosts the
netscape mailbox files for our users in our terminal server environment.
There were never problems with these files. After upgrading from samba
3.0.21 to 3.2.6 (sernet-built) the mailbox files of nearly all users got
corrupt while working with netscape.
We got the following symptoms. The users seem to receive their emails
doubly or triply. After closing netscape, deleting the mailboxes index
files an restarting netscape the mails were shown normally again.
Preventing oplocks on the mailboxes index files (*.msf) didn't solve the
problem. Because the mailbox files have no file extensions, we had to
disable oplocks on the whole share.
Now netscape runs stable again. But this seems not to be a normal samba
behaviour and i don't think it's a good idea to disable oplocks on a
share on which 300 users have access to.
Is this a bug or a misconfiguration of our fileserver? I'm sorry, i
found no abnormalities in the samba logs.
to your support, an extract of our smb.conf:
