Guys, I think the answer to my question is to upgrade samba. However, since this is my production machine, I thought I would try and understand the problems I'm having a little better to insure that an upgrade will correct my issues. My setup - Mandrake 7.2, samba 2.09. Win98, ME and XP clients. The 98 and ME machines have no problems. The XP machine has some intermittent slowness accessing files and printing to a printer hanging off a ME machine. The smb log shows the following:
This seems to be associated with the printing delay: [2004/05/24 08:38:22, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_ioctl(2516) call_nt_transact_ioctl: Currently not implemented. This seems to be associated with the file access slowness: [2004/05/24 08:49:27, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(976) oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds. oplock_break failed for file rankinlawfirm/clients/Rosenberger, Fran/Pleadings/NOTICE Second Amended- Deposition Crawford.doc (dev = 308, inode = 1371033). [2004/05/24 08:49:27, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(1050) oplock_break: client failure in oplock break in file rankinlawfirm/clients/Rosenberger, Fran/Pleadings/NOTICE Second Amended- Deposition Crawford.doc [2004/05/24 08:49:27, 0] smbd/reply.c:reply_lockingX(4163) reply_lockingX: Error : oplock break from client for fnum = 5056 and no oplock granted on this file (rankinlawfirm/clients/Rosenberger, Fran/Pleadings/NOTICE Second Amended- Deposition Crawford.doc). Obviously the file access problem is oplock related. I haven't a clue as to the call_nt_transact_ioctl message. Anybody know if an upgrade to 2.2.9 or 3.0.4 will resolve the issues? Any bits of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
