How about the smb.conf settings from that specific share?

How about the smb.conf settings from that specific share?

I have posted it 3 posts earlier (old smb, new smb for SHARE) and 2 posts earlier (old smb, new smb for GLOBAL)

</code>zyxel /etc/samba/smb.conf</pre><div></div><pre class="CodeBlock"><code><div>[share]</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; path = /i-data/12344321/share</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; follow symlinks = yes</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; strict allocate = yes</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; allocation roundup size = 0</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; aio write size = 4096</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; comment = "share"</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; browseable = yes</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; valid users = "admin" "pc-guest" "xxx1" "XXX" "+everyone" "+XXX"</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; guest ok = yes</div>

Ah sorry, missed that post. Well, after looking at the files, the most probable difference I can find is oplocks. That's a Windows way to lock files, to prevent multiple edit sessions at a time. I can imagine some editors just refuse to work if they can't get exclusive access

In old file we have

<div>[global]</div><div><br></div><div>oplocks = yes</div>

in new file it's

<div>[global]</div><div><br></div><div><div>kernel oplocks = no</div><div><br></div>level2 oplocks = no</div>

(I'm very happy that smb.conf always have simple, not confusing options)

So try to edit the latter to 'yes', and restart samba.

<div>/etc/init.d/samba.sh restart<br></div>

Thx for help, looks like everything is fine now... hope it will stay that way not sure if chown-nobody was the solution or changing oplocks

You will know after the first reboot. The edit in smb.conf won't survive a reboot, nor will it survive any change in samba configuration using the webinterface.

Basically smb.conf is generated dynamically by the NAS' backend.

New problem - old files are accessible, but files created later (totally new files) are inacessible... this is starting to be quite annoying

What's the difference in ownership/permission for an old and a new file?

What's the difference in ownership/permission for an old and a new file?

if you are refering to

ls -alh

it is the same as before...

Maybe the file is (still) locked? smbstatus can tell.
