Pb whith samba mounting a NFS file-system

[Gilles Salvin]

Hello
I encouter problem on HPUX 11.23 PA
with a samba server attempting to acces
a NFS file-system (automount) located on a other Hp9000.
I was working fine before I apply the Dec2005 Patchs on the 2 hp servers.
Now I can acces the samba partition but when I try to open a file on the nfs server it hang and
smbd processes stay running after I abort the hanged eplorer on window client.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Gilles,
anything in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file?
Have you checked the working of nfs between the servers.
Try to open the same file on the second HP box, then try the CIFS route.
Having updated hp you may need to update samba as well.

Gilles,
reading through the Dec'05 Patch Readmes:

HP CIFS Client Updated to version A.02.01 with a substantially
revised and improved code base.

HP CIFS Server Updated to 3.0c (version A.02.01.02), which is
based on Samba 3.0.7 and provides minor
enhancements and defect fixes, as well as the
new features provided in HP CIFS Server 3.0a
(version A.02.01).

PHKL_32713, PHNE_32055 refer to NFS fixes for nfs hangs.

Hello Peter
Thanks for answering :o)

nothing in syslog.log
I'm using samba 3.0.21b compiled by myself as I need open-ldap support for PDC function

I have the 2 patches you talk about in your 2nd answer

Usually it's a locking problem. Turn off all locking - especially "strict locking" (which at Samba 3.0 is on by default) - and see what happens. Also check the log.username (Samba log) and see if it just hangs on the open.

I doubt those patches would affect CIFS, but maybe AutoFS.

Thank you very much Eric

whith the "strict locking = no" option it works fine.
