times that can result in corrupted files back on the server if the client
machine and the server lose contact with each other. Experiment and see.
oplocks can be enabled on a per share basis, I believe. A lot may depend on

IMHO, this is a real good reason to disable oplocks.
I don't believe that in a production environment one could take such a
risk. I personaly had Excel files corrupted. Had to take it back
If Samba is corrupting the data files, then why wouldn't this be turned OFF by
default? I would think data corruption would be a major, MAJOR problem, and
reduce the usability of Samba. Is this really true?

Hi Bob.
I had never had anything to do with the oplocks switch with routine samba
shares for file access, but I recently commissioned a new Samba server (Red
Hat 8.0) which is running a Windows time and attendance database and we had
intermittent problems opening a database session from
Hello,
I'm wondering just how critical it really is to turn off oplocks. It appears
