Mind if I ask a few questions about the Samba (v2.0.6) "level2 oplocks" parameter? I am running Samba on a Linux (v2.2.14) box. 1. The online doc suggests that this feature, new in v2.0.5 and disabled by default, could use some testing. Any opinions on the stability of "level2 oplocks" in v2.0.6? 2. In describing the functionality of this feature, the online doc refers to WinNT by name. Does that mean that only WinNT can take advantage of this, or is this just shorthand for any client? What I really want to know is if my Linux/Win98/OS2 clients will benefit from the use of the "level2 oplocks". Thank you. *** Steve Snyder ***

I know of at least one site using this successfully with 2.0.6 Regards, Jeremy Allison, Samba Team. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Buying an operating system without source is like buying a self-assembly Space Shuttle with no instructions. --------------------------------------------------------
