Cannot "save as xls" or create a new xls on the SAMBA share. Zero byte file created.

Hi,

  I am not able to "save as xls" or create a new xls sheet on my readynas box.

  Steps to reproduce -

   Login to an existing SambaSMB share ( client is running Apple mac running mohave ).

   Select any csv file for editing.

   After making some changes, try to save as "filename.xls"

   I get a message "The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot reopen it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."

 

  Same error is seen if I create a new excel spreadsheet and try to save it as an xls file on the share.

 

  Additional information : 

  Readynas firmware version :  ReadyNas OS 6.9.5

  Additional vfs modules that are being used : "catia fruit streams_xattr" ( in that order ).

  The issue goes away if the ordering of the modules is changed ( streams_xattr before fruit ). However, the above order is reccommended by the samba fruit module.

  The above configuration works perfectly in the 6.9.4
