Created attachment 83807 [details] error message Problem description: When a file is saved on a network drive and you want to open it again short time after it's saved, you get a message "File is locked by unknown user". you can open it as copy or write protected or cancel After like 30 seconde or a minute the write protection is removed and u can work with it again. Steps to reproduce: 1. open a file on a network drive 2. save and close 3. reopen the same file Current behavior: file locked message Expected behavior: opening the file without writeprotection Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.1.0.4 release Last worked in: 4.0.0.3 release
Reproducible under Windows 7 with LO 4.1.1.1. @Mark.Rodehorst: Unlike what you said, you don't need to save the document before reopening, just open-close-open. Can you confirm that?
Changing 'Component' field, since it affects other LO modules too (tried with Writer & Impress).
yes, i can edit something and close the file with saving then. Same behaviour - file is locked. if i reopen it as a copy i can overwrite the original file with the copy without any problems.
What kind of network drive is it? A Windows server, normal Windows (what version?), Linux, something else like a NAS, or something even more exotic like a WebDAV server mapped as a drive letter or whatnot?
Also the type of document might affect the behaviour, so what is it? .odt, .doc, .xlsx, etc?
@Tor Lillqvist: My confirmation (comment 1) is about OpenDocument files. The share is a simple share on Windows 7 client.
I am also receiving this issue. I have a network drive shared (D-Link DNS-323 NAS device shared with SMB protocol) and Windows clients have had trouble . I can confirm this with the 4.1.1.1 build on Windows 7. Downgrading to 4.0.5 fixed the problem for me, for now. I made some notes here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66518 Mounting with cifs on Linux seems to not raise the same issue for me.

Hello! In 4.0.5 and 4.1.1 release there is the same behaviour on 64bit and 32bit, Win 77 Home and Professional machines: If I open a file from a network drive, make modifications and click save then the file is not saved with mess: Error saving the document XXXX.ods: Access to P:\_Documente personale\Membrii familiei\copiii 2.ods was denied that there are no sufficient rights. The same behaviour is with quick start on and off. For me this is a showstopper, as I cannot use anymore neither 4.0.5 nor 4.1.1. Reverting back to 4.0.4 where this did not happen.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68082 is a similar bug, but not the same!
I also switched down to 4.0.4 because of same/similar issues with 4.0.5.

Tested with 4.1.2.3 on Win 7 64bit. The problem still remains for some ods files. However, when I copied the data from the "broken" file to a new file (only numbers and formulas) and I redid the formatting by hand, the file could be saved on the network, so there is hope that something is better, but not yet reliable. On the local drives I could work without any problems. For the network scenario I tried with antivirus on/off but could not save. Apache 4.0.1 worked without problems! on the same files... Too bad it has not yet the functionality of LibreOffice.
I can add a bit of information: LibO 4.1.2.3 Win 7 Pro 64 bit client Samba 3.6.3 server Only odt and ods files get the "Document is locked for editing by Unknown User"; odb, csv, xls and doc don't (these are all set up to open in LibO on my computer) Looking at the output from smbstatus directly after opening an odt/ods file from the network shows it to be read only: 8931 10000 DENY_WRITE 0x20089 RDONLY NONE /home/users/davidm systems.odt Fri Oct 18 12:53:43 2013 but this read only status disappears after ~5 seconds. Once it has gone, I can use the "Edit File" button in LibO to get RW access to the file, after which the smbstatus line is the more "normal": 8931 10000 DENY_WRITE 0x2019f RDWR NONE /home/users/davidm systems.odt Fri Oct 18 12:55:04 2013
I think that we can safely close this bug as a dup of Bug 67534. The fact that the latter was a performance issue, explains why the file unlocks after some time. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 67534 ***
