About two months ago our sysadmin upgraded to samba 2.2.7 and we have not had any oplock problems since. A heartfelt thanks from the University of Wisconsin in Madison to the Samba team for all their hard work. If our hundreds of users understood what was going on behind the scenes, they'd be thanking you too. --- Sam Barasch Computer Systems Support Department of Biostatistics University of Wisconsin Madison

I only ever hear about problems people have with oplocks so it's occasionally nice to hear the code actually *does* work :-) :-). Thanks, Jeremy.
Yeah, we've got kind of a big system too - our one samba server provides services for users in three buildings on campus, and no one from our support team (about 7 end-user support staff members) has heard of any oplock problems since our upgrade. It could be that something else has changed, network-infrastructure-wise , but I really doubt it. Anyway, I ask every year for the department to send me to the Samba conference - is it going to be in Germany again?

I think you should try it again. Use the *exact* line I showed above. I just tested it and it works.
