6 <para>For UNIXes that support kernel based <smbconfoption name="oplocks"/>
7 (currently only IRIX and the Linux 2.4 kernel), this parameter
8 allows the use of them to be turned on or off.</para>

10 <para>Kernel oplocks support allows Samba <parameter moreinfo="none">oplocks
11 </parameter> to be broken whenever a local UNIX process or NFS operation
12 accesses a file that <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
13 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> has oplocked. This allows complete
14 data consistency between SMB/CIFS, NFS and local file access (and is
15 a <emphasis>very</emphasis> cool feature :-).</para>
16
17 <para>This parameter defaults to <constant>on</constant>, but is translated
18 to a no-op on systems that no not have the necessary kernel support.
19 You should never need to touch this parameter.</para>
