Hi Philipp, I am just starting to get up to speed on Tru64 after the HP-Compaq merger, but here's my "take" on your question. The smbds use fcntl to synchronize access to the TDBs and in a Cluster File System, or CFS, the fcntl call should work across nodes. Therefore the concurrent access of the TDB by may processes on 2 or more nodes should be OK. I would worry about though is the NMBD process. There is supposed to be only 1 of these and in your scenario there will be 2. There may be some synchronization issues with NMBD though I don't know how big or small this problem may be.

Each node will be running an instance of samba providing different services, but I want the locks directory to be shared between them so that if one node goes down, the other can take over its services and still have correct information about open files etc. My question: Can the tdb's handle being written to by more than one samba process, or am I likely to encounter corruption?
