  1. Turn off opplocks! by zulux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    A lot of winodows accounting packages - Peachtree, MAS 90, Quickbooks that use files as a psudo-database crash *HARD* if you don't turn off opplocks. You can do it in both Windows Server and Samba.

    (Opplocks is windows crapy way of caching networked files for speed - it's implementation sucks)
