Was some change made to the way SMB locking is done in stable recently ? We have a situation where several FreeBSD machines have a share mounted from an NT box. This was originally done using the smbfs port. I recently upgraded the machines to use the SMBFS stuff now included by default. The shares all mount fine, but now we find if one machine has a file open for reading then no other machines can open the file. This only occurs between the FreeBSD machines - th same file may be read many tmes on the samemachine, and if a BSD machine has a file open it may be read by other NT machines miunting the same share. Only other BSD machines are locked out. The reading process fails the open with the error "Permission denied" rather tjhan blocking until the file can be read. The manual page refers me to nsmb(8), but that page does not exist, nether does a manual page for nsmb.conf, so I cannot find out if there is some locking option I have missed. As these files are being served by a web server the chances of them being accessed in parallel is quite high and thus this is becomming a serious problem for us. ANy suggestions ? -pcf.
