Hello,
I'm using sama 3.0.24 on linux machine that serves a share for a windows
client.
When editing a file on samba, using MS Word I can see there are severals
(probably) backup files. ls looks like this:
Dotaznik1.doc
~$taznik1.doc
~WRD.tmp
~WRD0001.tmp
~WRD0002.tmp
~WRD0003.tmp
~WRD0004.tmp
These files do not disappear after I quit the Word.
This does not happen if I edit the files locally, the backup files are
created but
deleted after application quits.
Is it something samba related?
the share looks like:
[uvt]
comment = UVT For testing
browseable = yes
writable = yes
path = /mnt/export2/smb/UVT
guest ok = no
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
public = yes
valid users = some users
Hi,
these are indeed temporary word files. I think it's a locking issue
although I'm not familiar to this. But as a quick dirty workaround you
can delete them safely if you're sure the edited files are closed, maybe
in a cron process when the users are logged out and smb is down.
I'm sure there's a lot of samba locking discussion in the web.
