However, hosting the database on Linux, accessed by Linux/Wine directly at /tmp/db.dbf and by Windows over samba, the behavior is not correct. It seems that instead of a range lock, a complete file lock is propogated, and it also seems that this file lock is never released.
Ok, I was either on drugs or too upset about this war my country is currently engaged in...
Before when I tested the Samba share, I didn't have the permissions set correctly... duh! Now, with correct permissions, files hosted on Samba and accessed by Windows do respect locks put in place by Wine, and vice-versa.
So, it appears that the only place this isn't working is when we mount a Samba share on Linux using smbfs. Which is what Alexandre was trying to get through my thick skull the whole time.
Alexandre, as far as I'm concerned this is working just fine as it appears this is a failing of smbfs and not at all a failing of Wine.
Thanks for the time.
