[Samba] Partially transferred files keep locked for a while after client disconnected ungracefully

Hi Experts,
When copying a big file from Windows to a Samba share working with the
normal TDB mode rather than CTDB mode, the Windows client disconnected from
the network ungracefully such as cable unplugging or network disabling.
Then, try to delete the partial transferred file from another client, we
will be prompted that another program is using this file. The lock can be
easily observed by smbstatus as follows:
Locked files:
Pid Uid DenyMode Access R/W Oplock
SharePath Name Time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
30142 10500 DENY_ALL 0x30196 WRONLY EXCLUSIVE+BATCH
/vx/fs0 3G_File Wed Apr 11 23:14:53 2012
After a while (approximately 20 minutes), the lock was cleared by
Samba and the file can be accessed again.
*My question is whether there is any config item to set this lock
timeout period and why this doesn't happen to CTDB?*
BTW, I've already done some research and below is some findings:
1. 'veto oplock files', even setting 'oplocks = no' couldn't solve it.
2. 'reset on zero vc = yes' seems most close to what we want. But it only
kills other connections coming from the same IP.
3. 'deadtime' only takes effect if the number of open files is zero. The
ungracefully disconnection leaves the file open. So this doesn't work
either.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Pei
