"rename attempted on batch oplocked file" Samba mesg with Source Integrity (RCS-like tool)

[EFT.Eric Devolder]

Hello,

I encounter a very special problem with Samba and an RCS tool (MKS Source
Integrity).

When trying to perform a simple check-out or a check-in, the program seems
to hang for a long time. Finally, I get what I want but if I take a look to
the samba log file, I can find this for one file: (here the file is _LOG.H )

[1999/03/02 17:19:02, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(742)
  oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds.
  oplock_break failed for file GENPOS/COMMON.SRC/BELGIUM/RCS/_LOG.H (dev =
808, inode = 79913).
[1999/03/02 17:19:02, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(812)
  oplock_break: client failure in break - shutting down this smbd.

  check_file_sharing: NT redirector workaround - rename attempted on batch
oplocked file GENPOS/COMMON.SRC/BELGIUM/RCS/_LOG.H, dev = 808, inode = 79913

I think this is because MKS tries to rename an oplocked file. I've tried to
take a look to disable oplocks, but MKS replies that he cannot obtain system
locks. Perhaps someone has an idea of what to do in this case. I just need a
workaround to accelerate things !

Please help me, this is confusing me a lot!

Thank you in advance,
