Kernel versions earlier that 2026 do not handle locks on lredir'd drives. -----Mensaje reenviado----- =46rom: Oscar A. Valdez To: Stephen Lee Cc: dosemu Subject: Re: Samba and kernel oplocks - Smbmount Date: 29 Aug 2002 08:39:48 -0600 I'm accessing Samba shares with Dosemu 1.0.2 and 1.0.2.1. File locking works flawlessly and with simultaneous access by Window$ clients. I mount the Samba share with mount -t smbfs //SERVER/SHARE /mnt/MOUNTPOINT -o credentials=3DCREDENTI= ALS_FILE,workgroup=3DWORKGROUP,rw,gid=3DGID,fmask=3D770 and then, within Dosemu lredir F: linux\fs/mnt/MOUNTPOINT (Of course, all the stuff in capitals needs to be substituted correspon= dingly). Works fine.
