heh heh... so maybe I have yet more reading to do. sorry. One thing I don't get though.... Is Samba written to allow poorly written applications that are accessing the files through Samba to corrupt the files they share? These poorly written database apps for instance, Access, Paradox, and FoxPro apps. They apparently are able to corrupt files on the Samba server when they don't honor oplock breaks. Is that true? How does it happen? Does Samba allow programs that don't honor the oplock breaks to write to the incorrectly locked file?
I gotta test this oplock stuff. sounds very interesting. Thanks for your time. - Ben On Thu, Oct 24, 2002 at 09:01:16PM +0000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > But you're describing the kernal oplock api ! :-). We agree, that's why > it got added for Linux :-). > > Jeremy.
