We can make this feature (passing O_DENY* flags received from clients to filesystem) can be turned on/off on Samba/NFS server to let this particular use case work. In general, I think we really need to be sure that nobody has a read access for files that a Windows process opened with O_DENYREAD (because there can be important reasons for the Windows process to do so).It should only affect windows emulated tasks, nothing else
yes, but not just wine - there is probably a case for Samba server and NFSv4 to optionally request such behafvior). Also we are likely to see more cases where users want to run Samba over an NFS mount and vice versa. -- Thanks, Steve
