Hi,
At work we're running some rather old accounting software that tells us to disable oplocks and all caheing on our file server (and our clients)--Samba/FreeBSD isn't officially supported (the only platforms that are are Windows Server and Novell--yes, it's old) but we've been running fine on this configuration.
The software is sensitive to data caching issues etc, and corruption is occasionally an issue.
I have all oplocks disabled for the share in samba, and at the moment I have softupdates disabled on the accounting software mount.
My question is, does activating softupdates add any risk of data loss? My guess is no, but I've wanted to play it safe. Our other samba shares all have softupdates enabled and do fine, and speed is becoming somewhat of an issue.
thanks, Scott _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
