The oplock code in Samba has been *heavily* tested. The one thing we cannot fix is clients ignoring oplock break requests. If you can show a problem occurring when clients are *not* ignoring oplock break requests then it's a Samba logic bug and we'll jump on it asap. Clients commonly ignore oplock breaks because of network problems (borderline hubs etc.). Many people are suffering from network hardware that performs adequately in light use situations and fails under heavy load. I myself have ended up junking hubs with this problem. > On the other hand, several people have confirmed it to > be a problem with multiple clients accessing Microsoft > Access, which is a relatively cheap test. Yes, that's why we test it :-). Many people who have problems with multi-user access db's are running into access bugs. Jeremy.
