Description Bruce Garlock 2003-05-05 21:13:39 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Description of problem:
I get the following error when clicking on a SAMBA folder, that contains a
directory that is an NFS mount to a SCO Openserver 5.0.6 machine using RH AS 2.1

I did have this problem with RH 6.2, which I recently upgraded from on this machine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Couldn't Reproduce


Additional info:

Comment 1 Bruce Garlock 2003-05-05 21:14:40 UTC

OOps, meant to say, I did *not* have this problem under RH 6.2  - I had never
seen the error before.

Comment 2 Bruce Garlock 2003-05-08 17:12:09 UTC

I can further reproduce this error by doing the following:

mount an NFS dir to a SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 machine, using this mount command in

/etc/fstab on the AS 2.1 box:

note: Garlock is the SCO 5.0.5 machine

Garlock:/usr/covalent/users/mark /home/samba/work/users/mark/covalent nfs
rsize=16384,wsize=16384,soft,intr

The directory is the accessed as a SAMBA share on the AS 2.1 box, making the
NFS directory appear as a "regular" directory on the AS 2.1 box.

On the SCO side, this is my export entry for the NFS share:

/usr/covalent/users/mark -rw=linux.server

where linux.server is the AS 2.1 box.

As I said before, all this worked fine under RH 6.2, and I never had an issue. 

We use the SCO machine to export a procedure the the export folder in Lotus
1-2-3 format, then the user will open the file, and get the error "File in
Use", when in fact it is not in use.	The linux box then logs the error:

lockd: can't encode arguments: 5

I used a RH 9 machine to mount the same NFS directory, and could not get the
error.  The error occurs *every* time on the 2.1AS box, when the file is
initially accessed.  Subsequent access to the file seems to open it up just fine.
