From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I am running a compiled from source version of Samba, 2.2.8a on Red Hat 9 , kernel 2.4.20-18.9. The clients are running Win2k with SP3 and Office 2000. The Samba server authenticates with a WinNT 4 domain controller. Samba is logging these errors: [2003/07/09 12:22:18, 0] smbd/oplock_linux.c:linux_init_kernel_oplocks(287) Failed to setup RT_SIGNAL_LEASE handler It seems to be causing a delay in the windows users openning files over the Samba shares, especially with Microsoft Word and Excel. Tooling with the samba.conf file doesn't seem to help (ie, turning on and off oplocks, changing oplock break time, etc.). It would appear that Samba has an issue with the way the Red Hat 9.0 kernel handles oplocks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiled Samba 2.2.8a How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile Samba 2.2.8a 2. Copy my network infrastructure 3. Watch the log file Additional info: I don't know if this is a bug with either Samba or the Red Hat 9 kernel. However, I suspect there might be something wrong with the Red Hat 9 kernel.
This is the same issue as bug #88716 and the patch attached to that bug report fixes the problem for us. (We just ran into the problem yesterday when moving our samba server to RedHat 9, did our own fix by hardcoding different signal numbers, then today I found that bug report which I missed when searching on the issue yesterday). Not sure why someone from RedHat hasn't been by to mark this bug report as "Resolved - duplicate of #88716"...
