Hi Damir,

my apologies for letting this slip. Please do try to CC ome-users since the rest of the team won't let me forget! :)

> Based on your initial question about what filesystem, I looked a little further and tried to import the same offending file into a different OMERO installation that we set up for testing. This test installation is also on Ubuntu 12.04LTS but uses a xfs Linux filesystem for the omero.data.dir. And that one had no trouble with the offending file. Have you seen others have trouble with using a CIFS filesystem?

NFS & Samba filesystems have all shown problems in some if not most cases. The base requirement is that the posix locking semantics are guaranteed. A couple other threads on this topic:

My omero.data.dir points to a mounted filesystem that resides on a NetApp filer and that is presented to the world as a cifs filesystem. (For future use of the DropBox functionality, I've changed the "omero.fs.watchDir" to /home/omero/DropBox)

Other than the network mount, the rest of your installation looks reasonably healthy.
