What do you think, is compatible locking solvable at all?

What do you think, is compatible locking solvable at all?

[Michal Samek]

Hi,
after 2 years of searching for the stable dosemu/samba shared clipper
application environment (maybe you remember my posts and a lot of other
locking-related posts) I'm thinking about my last try. I know I have to
find someone with the dos/linux low-level development skills since it's
not clear where the problem is - maybe mfs, maybe smbfs, probably both
are causing locking incompatibilities. Before I start searching for
someone skilled enough who can try to solve it I would like to ask you,
dosemu developers, what do you think, is my problem (I mean totally
compatible locking of files/records between samba/win sessions and
samba/smbfs/dosemu sessions) solvable at all? Maybe there are some
desing issues which make it really impossible to hack? Thanks for your
opinions.

maybe it's better to ask the Samba and smbfs developers - DOSEMU
basically acts like just another Linux app and I know almost nothing
(only basic things) about Samba.

Oh, I must say a bit more about it; I've mentioned samba because it's
the target environment but the problem really starts somewhere between
dosemu and linux fs differrencies. Locking isn't working even on
lredired linux local ext2/3 fs for me and my clipper app, not only on
smbfs mounted lredired.

        What about Bart's mfs64 patch? I remember it worked.

Unfortunatelly not for me. To be sure I've tested it again and I must
say for me it brokes things at all - I can see only the first record of
every .dbf table I open, on both smbfs and native linux mounts. Foxplus
is also confused opening it's resource file. I'm using 2.4.19 and
nothing special I guess. System is updated rh7.3. I wrote it some days
ago to this list but nobody replied.
