Samba Notes

Lists files that are open - smbstatus 

Restart samba services (this will clear file locks): /etc/init.d/smbd restart

 

Consider using deadtime to set the timeout of file locks (my WiFi is dropping out once in a while leaving file locks...)

Mount a Windows SMB share with CIFS (which is the new way, older smbmount is deprecated):

mount -t cifs -o username=server_user,password=secret //192.168.44.100/share /path_to/mount

See: http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambacifs.html
