<para>For UNIXes that support kernel based <smbconfoption name="oplocks"/>
|
|
(currently only IRIX and the Linux 2.4 kernel), this parameter
|
|
allows the use of them to be turned on or off. However, this disables
|
|
Level II oplocks for clients as the Linux and IRIX kernels do not
|
|
support them properly.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Kernel oplocks support allows Samba <parameter moreinfo="none">oplocks
|
|
</parameter> to be broken whenever a local UNIX process or NFS operation
|
|
accesses a file that <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
|
|
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> has oplocked. This allows complete
|
|
data consistency between SMB/CIFS, NFS and local file access (and is
|
|
a <emphasis>very</emphasis> cool feature :-).</para>
|
|
<para>If you do not need this interaction, you should disable the
|
|
parameter on Linux and IRIX to get Level II oplocks and the associated
|
|
performance benefit.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This parameter defaults to <constant>no</constant> and is translated
|
|
to a no-op on systems that do not have the necessary kernel support.</para>
