"Kernel oplocks support allows Samba oplocks to be broken whenever a local UNIX process or NFS operation accesses a file that smbd(8) has oplocked. This allows complete data consistency between SMB/CIFS, NFS and local file access (and is a very cool feature :-)" I read that as meaning you get complete data consistency between SMB, NFS and local file access :-) Ahh. I just found the posting you refer to. You're saying the above only works if the Samba server is also the NFS server? Not an NFS client? I'm really surprised at that -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
