[Samba] Re: locking files error

[Jeff Umbach]

For multi-user database files you should disable oplocking for the sahre
that the files reside in.  Place these in the definition for that share in
your smb.conf file.

oplocks = no
level2 oplocks = no

Do a man smb.conf and look for more details on oplocks.
