CIFS share Locked files on a NetApp filer
Issue with a locked file on a CIFS share.
First check Computer Management and then connect to the filer.
Look at Open Files or Sessions and see if the lock can be released from there.
If it isn't showing, then telnet to the filer.
You can use these commands to see CIFS status, current Locks and ultimately break the locks:
cifs stat Show Statistics of CIFS operations.
lock status -f -p cifs Show all locked CIFS files.
lock status -o admin -p cifs Show all locked CIFS files by admin.
lock break -o admin -f "/vol/Share1/Folder/File.doc" -p cifs Clear locks the user admin has on the file.
lock status -f "/vol/Share1/Folder/File.doc" -p cifs Show all locks on the listed file.
lock break -f "/vol/Share1/Folder/File.doc" -p cifs Clear all locks on the listed file.
Below is the usage for the lock status and lock break commands:
lock status -f [file] [-p protocol] [-n]
lock status -h [host [-o owner]] [-f file] [-p protocol] [-n]
lock status -o [-f file] [-p protocol] [-n]
lock status -o owner [-f file] [-p protocol] [-n] (valid for CIFS only)
lock status -p protocol [-n]
lock status -n
lock break -f file [-o owner -h host] [-p protocol]
lock break -h host [-o owner] [-f file] [-p protocol]
lock break -o owner [-f file] [-p protocol] (valid for CIFS only)
lock break -p protocol
lock break -net network
where
file prefix is a /vol/volX style path
protocol is a case-insensitive string: "nlm", "cifs", "flexcache", or "nfsv4"
host = NetBios name or FQDN or IP (CIFS)
= FQDN (FLEXCACHE)
= FQDN or IP (NLM)
= IP (NFSv4)
owner = [domain\]username (CIFS)
= Process-ID (NLM)
= IP:fsid of caching filer (FLEXCACHE)
network is a case-insensitive string: "ipv4" or "ipv6"
