> By then, we discovered that if we disabled all oplocks,
we got no more corruption.I posted here weeks ago problems regarding Excel 97 file corruption. I finally disabled oplocks then.
But day passing, I had new problems with Word 97 :-/ (new posts here, mainly not answered but a tip on how to get clients at same time that servers... -NET command usage...):
Many times a day, clients here when oppening a MS Word 97 document have it in "READ ONLY" mode, but seems no reason fort that!!
I recently put oplocks *back* ON *but* with veto-ing excel files...
I hope this change could solve de pb..
Waiting for changes, I read again docs about oplocks (Samba HOWTO Collection -R-O-X-, O'Reilly and SAM'S books too)
Again and again.... but as Jeremy says thereafter, seems a problem *in* Word 97 ... Maybe I'll have to patch it (it's original version, just patched with Euro Font Fix, nothing more, maybe the source of the problems? -Idem with Excel....)
That Samba file server has been incredibly stable,Same opinion here. Samba works like a charm. We got 2.2.3a Debian woody stable release (damm when will they upgrade at debian?? ;-)).
serving terabytes of data to almost 100 clients. We've seen no file corruption since that day. You'll
find many admins who agree with me - Samba rocks!
