File partially locked when copying to a Samba share
You’ve got your Samba server going and you’re now anxious to put your files to your Samba server then kablam! you cannot do so because your files are partially locked. Hmmm, weird? Not.
But yeah, it took me a while to notice the problem. All you need to do is to set the following parameter in Samba’s smb.conf file under [global] settings.
strict locking = no
That’s all there is to it!
Restart your Samba server and copy away!
