Oplocks, disabling on Linux servers

In Linux, Windows networking is serviced by the Samba daemon.

 

Samba is configured in one file: /etc/smb.conf.

 

The opportunistic locking settings can be set in the global section.

Add or replace these settings if they does not exists (these are the wanted settings):

 

[global] 

 kernel oplocks = yes

 

[mydatashare]

 veto oplock files = /*.*/

 strict locking = yes

 oplocks = no

 

The mydatashare section is your share section as already set up in smb.conf.
