[Samba] Op-lock error

[Tom Peters]

Samba 3.0.9-2.3 on Suse 9.2

I'm still getting errors copying to my samba box: Often the first attempt 
to copy to it fails seemingly before it's copied anything. When this 
happens, there is a zero-length file created with the right name. If I 
retry the copy immediately and reply Yes to overwrite the zero-length file, 
it usually proceeds without problems.

Many times the copy just goes fine with no error.

The error dialog that pops up is always the same: Specified network name no 
longer available.

This may be new:

This is the first time I've seen this in the messages file:

inode = 644, file_id = 7

No, I take it back, there was a similar occurrence on April 2 copying a 
large file.

I had oplocks=off in my smb.conf and commented that statement out in an 
attempt to wring a little more performance out of this dog. Do I need to 
turn oplocks off? Are they on by default?

Is the global section the right place for the oplocks option?
