10 <para>If <command moreinfo="none">locking = no</command>, all lock and unlock
11 requests will appear to succeed and all lock queries will report
12 that the file in question is available for locking.</para>

14 <para>If <command moreinfo="none">locking = yes</command>, real locking will be performed
15 by the server.</para>

17 <para>This option <emphasis>may</emphasis> be useful for read-only
18 filesystems which <emphasis>may</emphasis> not need locking (such as
19 CDROM drives), although setting this parameter of <constant>no</constant>
20 is not really recommended even in this case.</para>
21
22 <para>Be careful about disabling locking either globally or in a
23 specific service, as lack of locking may result in data corruption.
24 You should never need to set this parameter.</para>
