I get strange behavior of Mac OS Server 10.5.2 when setting the File
Locking for SMB shares.
In the manual it says "Strict locking, enabled by default...",
however in the settings panel of Server Admin the Strikt Locking
checkbox is unchecked. If I check it and hit Save it is unchecked
the next time I open the settings panel. As far as I understand the
locking stuff, it should not be checkboxes but radio buttons anyway,
because locking is either Strikt or Opportunistic. Am I missing
something here?
Several applications have problems saving certain files from a WinXP
client to the smb share. When I enable oplocks, it gets saved alright
in the settings and the apps can save their data. However, the manual
states: "Important: Do not enable oplocks unless the share point is
using only SMB. If the share point uses any other protocol, data can
become corrupt." But the share points need to be accessed by afp and
smb, so this setting seems to be a bad idea.
According to the manual, strickt locking is enabled by default. When
I check the shares in terminal using "sharing -l" I find that strikt
locking does not get enabled no matter what I do in Server Admin. Do
we have a problem with Server Admin? Anyone experiencing similar
problems?
Greetings and thanks for your thoughts
