 communication between ISERIES (QDLS) and LINUX
Networking, Linux
Iseries 720 V5R2M0
A shared folder has been created in /QDLS (access read & write)

This folder can be accessed by Windows machines (writing, updating and deleting of files works like a charm)
This folder can be accessed by a Linux machine (SUSE 8.1 SLES) through SAMBA (version 2x)
There's another Linux machine (SUSE 9 SLES and SAMBA 3.0.926). This machine receives the following error when trying to update files in this share : "input/output error".(strangely enough, creating an empty file and copying a file to the directory works)
After an update attempt the share becomes unavailable and the errormessage even appears when doing a directory listing.

Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

You should post your question on samba list with a little more details like smb.conf file of both machines.

Succesfull access by one samba client and creation of empty files on the share by the second client suggest that the problem might not be samba-related. According to my experience samba upgrades without some tweaking of the configuration sometimes leads to authorization failures on the SERVER side, but I never experiensed problems on the CLIENT side.

I’m not familiar with suse installations, but maybe you’ll take a look at the mechanism of the client access to the shared directory - smbclient, smbmount, some Gnome or KDE helper?
