Hello All, this morning, after rebooting our samba-testserver to activate some patches, we continuously got this error: [1999/02/18 09:53:29, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(943) request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 1650 on port 1230 for dev = ff000009, inode = 53134 [1999/02/18 09:53:40, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(943) request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 1650 on port 1230 for dev = ff000009, inode = 53134 [1999/02/18 09:53:50, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(943) request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 1650 on port 1230 for dev = ff000009, inode = 53134 [1999/02/18 09:53:51, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(943) request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 1650 on port 1230 for dev = ff000009, inode = 53134 [1999/02/18 09:54:01, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(943) request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 1650 on port 1230 for dev = ff000009, inode = 53134 We also had some other problems, all related with locking of files. Most of them have been bypassed with a work-around. I disabled oplock in samba; the errors have disappeared but working with files is very slow now. Any ideas? N.
