Adding or modifying shares in the GUI seems to restart samba, which disconnects open files.
"killall -HUP smbd" was mentioned in a Linux forum. Could this be implemented in "Apply changes" function of NAS4Free GUI?

I like to aks Users and Admins to rewrite/take over important post from here into the new fresh main forum!
Its not possible for us to export from here and import it to the main forum!

Re: Modify samba shares without disconnecting users
Hi,
I can imagine situations with a lot of clients where users wil not like it if the admin restarts samba each time he wants to make a small config change during working hours.
I remember from when I was first upgrading to samba41 that samba reloads it's config every 60seconds, so the following is worth testing :
https://code.google.com/p/nas4free-exte ... _share.php
I tested briefly and an open stream just kept streaming during and after the config change.
I even think config is reloaded right-away the way the RC script works instead of passively waiting up to 60 seconds for the config to be reloaded.
regards,
Jan
