Hi,

File locks are currently faked in the CIFS server, so it does not keep track of locks. The 0x9E status is 'not locked', this is likely causing problems with the Mac client.

Which version of Mac OS X are you using ?.

Cheers

Gary

Here we are most than 18 months later, and I'm having the same problem.
I can't copy folders, but I can copy files using CIFS.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Alfresco Community 2.9B (on a unix server).

Has anyone made any progress on this issue?

How are you copying the files/folders to the Alfresco CIFS drive, using Finder or some other UI app, or via the command line, in which case what's the full command ?

If you could get a packet trace (using Tcpdump or Wireshark) of a copy that triggers the problem that would be very useful. With Tcpdump you need to use the '-s 0' option to make sure it records the whole packet.

The latest code has file locking support, so it may be a different problem.
