Just a question, in one message through this thread, you told this: "One potential workaround (no guarantees!) is to say "posix locking = no" on the relevant shares." And that's what I've done too, but what kind of "no guarantees" should I expect?!

John I've seen that too (I do not have the URL at hands right now) and it also gives a solution to the problem, but the solution is concerned about an Windows clients. The idea was to use attrib command to change some information, but this command will not affect a file located in the Samba/NFS server. By the way, the message Windows gave me was something like "Access denied".

[Samba] "posix locking = no" - is it dangerous?!
Dear users, I'm asking myself... what if I use "posix locking = no" to a share in a Samba server?! Here goes 3 URL's describing the some problem I have right now: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2008-January/137529.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2008-January/137437.html http://blog.notreally.org/articles/2007/12/ The last one suggest a patch to the kernel code, but I do not want to touch anything at such level. I've been testing some "locking" options and could realize that "posix locking = no" brought me an work around to this problem. But here comes a very serious issue: data consistency. And also, what kind of negative impacts could affect the server?! Suggestions?!
