<samba:parameter name="locking"

xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
<description>
<para>This controls whether or not locking will be
performed by the server in response to lock requests from the
client.</para>
<para>If <command moreinfo="none">locking = no</command>, all lock and unlock
requests will appear to succeed and all lock queries will report
that the file in question is available for locking.</para>
<para>If <command moreinfo="none">locking = yes</command>, real locking will be performed
by the server.</para>
<para>This option <emphasis>may</emphasis> be useful for read-only
filesystems which <emphasis>may</emphasis> not need locking (such as
CDROM drives), although setting this parameter of <constant>no</constant>
is not really recommended even in this case.</para>
<para>Be careful about disabling locking either globally or in a
specific service, as lack of locking may result in data corruption.
You should never need to set this parameter.</para>
