Samba 3.0.9-2.3 on Suse 9.2 I'm still getting errors copying to my samba box: Often the first attempt to copy to it fails seemingly before it's copied anything. When this happens, there is a zero-length file created with the right name. If I retry the copy immediately and reply Yes to overwrite the zero-length file, it usually proceeds without problems. Many times the copy just goes fine with no error. The error dialog that pops up is always the same: Specified network name no longer available. This may be new: This is the first time I've seen this in the messages file: Apr 14 16:33:35 tolkien smbd[26853]: oplock_break: end of file from client Apr 14 16:33:35 tolkien smbd[26853]: oplock_break failed for file TV/Odyssey5/Odyssey 5-1x16-Vanishing.Point.avi (dev = fd00, inode = 644, file_id = 7).

I had oplocks=off in my smb.conf and commented that statement out in an attempt to wring a little more performance out of this dog. Do I need to turn oplocks off? Are they on by default? Is the global section the right place for the oplocks option?
