Not enabled as much as the file system able to achieve them. Oplocks are basically the stations saying "I'm the only one using this file, so I'll handle the locking until someone else opens the file and flush all my info back to the server afterwards"-- versus normal operations of all locking and file operations going directly to the network server... If you manually DISABLE oplocks, you'll see the same performance as you do if you have multiple stations using the same files. > In which case I'm confused but intrigued by your findings as the default > setting is ON - or I thought so anyway. Yes. You have to manually turn it off(not that there's typically a reason to do so). -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
