Thank you. There very definitely are file locking and caching settings
in samba that need careful attention.
Especially when using it to host windows filepro.
That's why I mentioned "network drive client caching effects" and "try
the tests with the temp files on the C: drive"
Even though I don't think he ever said anything about the disk being a
network drive. It's just the most likely way to get funny file locking
behavior.
Thanks also for asserting PW's actions.
