[Samba] Kernel Oplocks and FC2

[Mike McMullen]

Hi All,

I am running Samba version 3.0.7-2.FC2.

I've been noticing the following messages in /var/log/messages:

Sep 22 09:35:47 www kernel: lease broken - owner pid = 6024
Sep 22 09:36:32 www kernel: lease broken - owner pid = 25134

I've been told that if I place "kernel oplocks = false" in my
smb.conf file, I won't see this message any more.

However, if I do this, does it turn off file-locking all together?

TIA,

Mike
