[Samba] samba 3.6.9-164 - is "kernel oplocks = no" option viable on purely Samba shared FS?
Hi, anyone tried to speed up samba file transfer over the network by turning off the kernel opportunity locking - the so called: "kernel oplocks = no"? 2 questions: 1. In scenario, where you have purely data storage filesystem (no apps, databases anything), shared only over Samba and accessed only by windows client workstations - would it be OK to use the "kernel oplocks = no" option? 2. is the "kernel oplocks = no" still Global option?? it used to be a global option, but i read somewhere that devs wanted to code it as 'Share' option - which would be great for testing .. I can't find any 'fresh' info on it - anyone can confirm this? thank you

Apparently Analagous Threads
- sssd config doesn't ask for password
- FEDORA 28 + SAMBA 4.8.5 --must-change-at-next-login don't work
- cifs.ko kernel module versus smb.conf - which SMB protocol version?
- 3.6.9 samba does not propagate (or show) Linux quota for windows users to see it
- sssd config doesn't ask for password
