NAME
locktest - Find differences in locking between two SMB servers
SYNOPSIS
.HP 216u
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
.PP 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.
.PP This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.
OPTIONS
.PP -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).
.RE
.PP -s seed
Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
.RE
.PP -o numops
Set the number of operations to perform.
.RE
.PP -a
Print the operations that are performed.
.RE .PP -A
Backtrack to find minimal number of operations required to make the response to a certain call differ.
.RE
.PP -O
Enable oplocks.
.RE
.PP -u
Hide unlock fails.
.RE
.PP -E
enable exact error code checking
.RE
.PP -Z
enable the zero/zero lock
.RE
.PP -R range
set lock range
.RE
.PP -B base
set lock base
.RE
.PP -M min
set min lock length
