...ogled literature. I need to lock large numbers of files on the server, and have Samba open requests block until they are released. I found references to "blocking locks" in references such as "Using Samba" (O'Reilly, 1999, 2003) http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_05.html but these refer to range locks, which are overkill for my application (I only need to check on open, not on every IO). Deny modes would seem to fill the bill, but I can't find whether blocking locks would work for them, and also they do not seem to be Linux-compatible on the server, and...

...owing entry under the global section in the smb.conf veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.dbf/*.DBF We have the problems with the office documents since 2 days and I can't remember to have something changed in samba config. I also red this article. http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_05.html Now I'm wondering if someone got some more experiences with samba and the way locks are handled? Does freeBSD support kernel oplocks? I also compared this behavior with our Synology NAS-Server and there seems to be no problem with handling locks. Thanks for your help psunix

There is one big problem - ... we are having issues with Excel files, that on occasion, are not being recognized, taking literally minutes to load and other quirky abnormalities. Excel on the XP desktop machines will refuse to save

Just upgraded Saturday from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04.01. File locking in Samba is now broken, meaning two different users can have the same file open at the same time and edit it. Server is RedHat 9.0 running Samba 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix. This has been working well for us for several years. Have one WinXP box accessing the server using OOo 2.0. Have another couple of Win95 boxes. In addition,

Kernel oplocks are only needed if you access files from both Samba and NFS or local FreeBSD processes. If that is not the case, kernel...
