  • 1.  CIFS maintaining open file

    I'm using CIFS to connect to a share on my Windows 2003 RC 2 box. I have 1 file on this share that I believe AIX believes is an open file. I know that it is not.

    I can delete the file in question from both AIX and Windows, do a vi filename but when I attempt :wq in vi to save I get a "A file descriptor does not refer to an open file." error.

    I can use the CIFS share for any other filename.

    I'm running AIX 5.3 TL5 SP5

    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Also trying to unmount the filesystem, fails with:
    There was an error with the unmount.
    How did you solve this problem?

    Hi

    It looks like i've got the same problem with the unmount of a cifs filesystem.

    have you solved this problem without reboot the system ?

    thanks and best regards
