Confirm there is a lock on the Samba server with "smbstatus -locks".Ĥ: Close the application (not Preview) with the PDF file open. I have the main lightroom catalog on the iMac, not shared, and Im sav. Open it with something other than Preview (The default). So, the real problem, is the Finder's lack of response to the user, but locks not getting released, makes the problem much worse.ġ: Disable all preview functionality in the Finder.Ģ: Browse to a PDF on you Samba fileserver.ģ. Often none of the user's data actually gets uploaded to the server (But they think it has been). To the users, it looks like the operation was completed, but it was not.
