Well, that might explain it... I am running the 2.2.18 kernel - maybe 2.4 handles something differently. I did install the 2.4 kernel, so I may give that a try, although I was wanting to wait a while for most of the bugs to get worked out. thanks Charles -----Original Message----- From: Chris Geske [mailto:lims@newnorth.net] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 11:33 AM To: Charles Marcus; suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] File sharing/data corruption with Win2K clients/SAMBA I also had some file corruption on a SuSE 6.4 setup with Samba 2.0.7. Word 97 and 2000 files would get corrupted, and our Oracle Forms and Reports files were corrupted. Word files would get corrupted about 1/month, and the Oracle files would get corrupted about 10/week. Also had to reboot this 6.4 server quite often due to file lock problems. After upgrading to SuSE 7.1, I have yet to have a problem. Running kernel 2.4.0 and Samba 2.0.7. Chris Geske LIMS Manager Northern Lake Service, Inc. email: lims@newnorth.net phone: 715-478-2777
