oplocks

[Glenn MacGregor]

Hi All,

I don't seem to be able to subscrube to the samba list because I am on
ht esamba-ntdom list, so can you please respond directly to me.

I have put up a share for the accounting people where tey store the
quickbooks files.  When one person accesses the file everything is
fine.  smbstatus looks like this:

Locked files:
Pid    DenyMode   R/W        Oplock           Name
--------------------------------------------------
2216   DENY_NONE  RDWR       EXCLUSIVE+BATCH
/usr1/oracom/accounting/Quickbooks 2000/Active/New QB.QBI   Tue Sep 12
13:03:07 2000
2216   DENY_NONE  RDWR       EXCLUSIVE+BATCH
/usr1/oracom/accounting/Quickbooks 2000/Active/New QB.QBW   Tue Sep 12
13:03:06 2000

notice the Quickbooks stuff has the exclusive+batch oplock.  Now when
someone else tries to access the file (which is allowed, it worked when
I had the files on an NT workstation) they get an error saying it is not
a quickbooks file, and the smbstatus follows:

Locked files:
Pid    DenyMode   R/W        Oplock           Name
--------------------------------------------------
2216   DENY_NONE  RDWR       EXCLUSIVE+BATCH
/usr1/oracom/accounting/Quickbooks 2000/Active/New QB.QBI   Tue Sep 12
13:03:07 2000
2229   DENY_ALL   RDWR       EXCLUSIVE+BATCH
/usr1/oracom/accounting/Quickbooks 2000/Active/INET/_License.tmp   Tue
Sep 12 13:07:33 2000
2229   DENY_NONE  RDONLY     NONE
/usr1/oracom/accounting/Quickbooks 2000/Active/New QB.QBW   Tue Sep 12
13:07:33 2000
2216   DENY_NONE  RDWR       NONE
/usr1/oracom/accounting/Quickbooks 2000/Active/New QB.QBW   Tue Sep 12
13:03:06 2000

Another smbstatus later in time:

Locked files:
Pid    DenyMode   R/W        Oplock           Name
--------------------------------------------------
2318   DENY_NONE  RDWR       NONE
/usr1/oracom/accounting/Quickbooks 2000/Active/New QB.QBI   Tue Sep 12
13:11:51 2000
2328   DENY_NONE  RDWR       NONE
/usr1/oracom/accounting/Quickbooks 2000/Active/New QB.QBW   Tue Sep 12
13:14:01 2000
2318   DENY_NONE  RDWR       NONE
/usr1/oracom/accounting/Quickbooks 2000/Active/New QB.QBW   Tue Sep 12
13:11:50 2000

So we have no oplocks and everything is read write.

Any help would be great.

        Thanks

                Glenn
