[Samba] FYI : oplock problems

[Thierry ITTY]

FYI, I'm setting up a file server for 1000 users based on mdk 8.0,
self-compiled 2.4.19 + acl patches, self compiled samba 2.2.6, 100 Mbps NIC

this server is right now in a pre-prod status and is currently used only by
very few users

while loading several +100 MB files on a share from a NT 4 wks 100 Mbps, we
got several "session cancelled" messages, and un-killable D-state smbd
processes on the server. 

setting "oplocks = no" on the share and rebooting (the only way to remove
D-state processes in this case) solved the problem

oplocks are definitively a nightmire for us here...

Bien sûr que je suis perfectionniste !
Mais ne pourrais-je pas l'être mieux ?
