Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 70013
NFS+Samba file locking causes data loss
Last modified: 2014-02-21 10:38:27 UTC
If Samba clients running Windows and OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 open the same document through two different Linux Samba servers connected by NFS, then the application instance with the lock goes into an error state where the document is saved as 0 bytes. This part is interesting: Also, any document saved with any file name in the same directory will also have 0 bytes until the test document is closed. While file locking may have other issues, this issue focuses on the data loss aspect. Attached please find a detailed report.
