[Samba] kernel oplocks don't work on Linux/Alpha

[Dr. Markus Ammer, Ingenieurb�ro Ammer]

Hello,   I have a Compaq Alpha server with Linux 2.4.18 and samba 2.2.4 and NT-clients.   After accessing a file from a NT-client this file cannot be accessed on the Linux side for a while.   Creating the file on the server:     echo test >file   on the NT-client (gives "test"):     TYPE file   try to access it on the server:     cat test cat: file: Invalid argument   After waiting approx. 40 sec. it succeeds.     This problem does not occur with "kernel oplocks=no", but file contents are not consistent then.   The same configuration on an Intel server (2.4.16, samba 2.2.3a) works.   Markus.
