Why does oplocks = False not seem to stop file cacheing? (More Info)

[David J. Reiter]

All,
 Here is the output of smbstatus after I have opened up the file on the
PC:

/usr/local/samba/bin [184] ./smbstatus
 
Samba version 1.9.18p10
Service      uid      gid      pid     machine

No locked files
 
Share mode memory usage (bytes):
   1048464(99%) free + 56(0%) used + 56(0%) overhead = 1048576(100%) total


Now if it says there are no locked files why does the PC cache the
information? Thanks for any help at all,

David.

from mine (don't remember what sync does so it might not be needed)
  [office]
   sync always = yes
   oplocks = no
