problems with samba

I’d like to know which version you use because I realized recently that
the 2.2.1a corrupt the file system when it writes its
/var/lock/samba/.pid and /var/lock/samba/.tdb files.

I can see the problem if I slay samba and try to rm these files.
rm: can’t unlink /var/lock/samba/smbd.pid: Corrupted file system detected.

cheers
Alain.

I had the exact same problem with 2.2.1a.

Now I am running with 2.2.3a and the problem seems to be less but not gone.

seems to remember someone mentioned this is a problem with qnxfs.
Try point your samba lock to a directory on another fs, say ext2 or vfat
and see if the problem goes away.

Samba doesn’t want to create its tdb files through fs-cifs, I don’t know
why. But, according to few tests, it seems to be ok on a qnx4 filesystem.

Thanks a lot.
Alain.
