[Samba] Cant open embedded Base file for editing from mounted disk (nfs or smb)

There are several problems bugs registered regarding to NFS system, but actually problem appear on several mounted (any non-local?) filesystems. It was tested with NFS and SMB shares in Linux and behavior is similar - database can be opened in main window, but clicking on any other view (table, form) causes error: The connection to the data source "DBName" could not be established. SQL Status: S1000 Error code: -29 File input/output error: /smb/datubazes/Testa/DBname.log Neither .log nr .lck in filesystem is created, despite user can create and edit file in filesystem. In Win desktop the same build, username and smb share works correctly, and .lck file for database is created. So, I suppose problem is in OOo Linux build not in misconfigured NFS or SMB shares.
As it is real stopper for me and probably many other Linux/unix users, I've marked this as P2
It seems happen also while opening database from other computer using VPN connection. See: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=35761
I have reproduced this on Windows XP Professional clients with 680m167 when the database is held on a Windows 2003 file server. For two of the clients, the problem occurs intermittently, and on a third the problem never occurs at all. I note the same error messages and symptoms as found on the Linux systems. I also note that the .lck file is missing. Copying the database to the local filesystem always works. I have not yet ascertained why this is intermittent.
Because it was reproduced on Windows also, I changed platform to All. I retested it with 680m167 build - from Win2k SP4 workstation database on smb share (server is Mandriva 2006) was opened succesfully and *.lck file was created.
may anybody write a step by step description for better repro thx
You need two Linux computers. Its mandatory, I've just tested using one host for simplicity, and it worked. Create NFS share one the first one. See some NSF howto e.g. http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/. Then mount this share on the other one. And then simply try to edit some Base file in mounted share.
I retested it again on SRC680_m180 build. Now *.lck file is created and database is opened (though extremely slowly), and can even edit records in table, but when table is closed, error appears: Due to an unexpected error, OpenOffice.org crashed. All files ....
I'm having this problem as well, which is a deal-breaker for my office. Has anyone had any luck on it?
clu->msc: may you have a look on this ;)
