NAME

locktest - Find differences in locking between two SMB servers

SYNOPSIS

locktest {//server1/share1} {//server2/share2} [-U user%pass] [-U user%pass] [-s seed] [-o numops] [-a] [-O] [-E] [-Z] [-R range] [-B base] [-M min]

DESCRIPTION

locktest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour in locking between SMB servers. It will run a random set of locking operations against //server1/share1 and then the same random set against //server2/share2 and display the differences in the responses it gets.

This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.

OPTIONS

-U user%pass

: Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter can be specified twice (once for the first server, once for the second).

-s seed

: Seed the random number generator with the specified value.

-o numops

: Set the number of operations to perform.

-a

: Print the operations that are performed.

-A

: Backtrack to find minimal number of operations required to make the response to a certain call differ.

-O

: Enable oplocks.

-u

: Hide unlock fails.

-E

: enable exact error code checking

-Z

: enable the zero/zero lock

-R range

: set lock range

-B base

: set lock base

-M min

: set min lock length

-k

: Use kerberos
