[Samba] Re: SAMBA and Microsoft Access

[Noel Kelly]

There is also nothing to be gained running Access shares with oplocks - but
everything to lose.  oplocks increase performance for shares handling mainly
static data by allowing the client to cache that data locally - Access is
flaky enough without introducing that sort of behaviour!

Set 
	oplocks = no
	level2 oplocks = no
	kernel oplocks = no

Access 2.0 is the only member of that family I've managed to get working
with oplocks on.

Hope this helps.
