Scope IDs</A -></H2 -><P ->By default Samba uses a blank scope ID. This means - all your windows boxes must also have a blank scope ID. - If you really want to use a non-blank scope ID then you will - need to use the 'netbios scope' smb.conf option. - All your PCs will need to have the same setting for - this to work. I do not recommend scope IDs.</P -></DIV -><DIV -CLASS="SECT2" -><H2 -CLASS="SECT2" -><A -NAME="AEN280" ->2.6.2. Locking</A -></H2 -><P ->One area which sometimes causes trouble is locking.</P -><P ->There are two types of locking which need to be - performed by a SMB server. The first is "record locking" - which allows a client to lock a range of bytes in a open file. - The second is the "deny modes" that are specified when a file - is open.</P -><P ->Record locking semantics under Unix is very - different from record locking under Windows. Versions - of Samba before 2.2 have tried to use the native - fcntl() unix system call to implement proper record - locking between different Samba clients. This can not - be fully correct due to several reasons. The simplest - is the fact that a Windows client is allowed to lock a - byte range up to 2^32 or 2^64, depending on the client - OS. The unix locking only supports byte ranges up to - 2^31. So it is not possible to correctly satisfy a - lock request above 2^31. There are many more - differences, too many to be listed here.</P -><P ->Samba 2.2 and above implements record locking - completely independent of the underlying unix - system. If a byte range lock that the client requests - happens to fall into the range 0-2^31, Samba hands - this request down to the Unix system. All other locks - can not be seen by unix anyway.</P -><P ->Strictly a SMB server should check for locks before - every read and write call on a file. Unfortunately with the - way fcntl() works this can be slow and may overstress the - rpc.lockd. It is also almost always unnecessary as clients - are supposed to independently make locking calls before reads - and writes anyway if locking is important to them. By default - Samba only makes locking calls when explicitly asked - to by a client, but if you set "strict locking = yes" then it will - make lock checking calls on every read and write. </P -><P ->You can also disable by range locking completely - using "locking = no". This is useful for those shares that - don't support locking or don't need it (such as cdroms). In - this case Samba fakes the return codes of locking calls to - tell clients that everything is OK.</P -><P ->The second class of locking is the "deny modes". These - are set by an application when it opens a file to determine - what types of access should be allowed simultaneously with - its open. A client may ask for DENY_NONE, DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE - or DENY_ALL. There are also special compatibility modes called - DENY_FCB and DENY_DOS.</P -></DIV -></DIV -></DIV -><DIV -CLASS="NAVFOOTER" -><HR -ALIGN="LEFT" -WIDTH="100%"><TABLE -SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" -WIDTH="100%" -BORDER="0" -CELLPADDING="0" -CELLSPACING="0" -><TR -><TD -WIDTH="33%" -ALIGN="left" -VALIGN="top" -><A -HREF="introsmb.html" -ACCESSKEY="P" ->Prev</A -></TD -><TD -WIDTH="34%" -ALIGN="center" -VALIGN="top" -><A -HREF="samba-howto-collection.html" -ACCESSKEY="H" ->Home</A -></TD -><TD -WIDTH="33%" -ALIGN="right" -VALIGN="top" -><A -HREF="browsing-quick.html" -ACCESSKEY="N" ->Next</A -></TD -></TR -><TR -><TD -WIDTH="33%" -ALIGN="left" -VALIGN="top" ->Introduction to Samba</TD -><TD -WIDTH="34%" -ALIGN="center" -VALIGN="top" -><A -HREF="introduction.html" -ACCESSKEY="U" ->Up</A -></TD -><TD -WIDTH="33%" -ALIGN="right" -VALIGN="top" ->Quick Cross Subnet Browsing / Cross Workgroup Browsing guide</TD -></TR -></TABLE -></DIV -></BODY -></HTML ->
