Hi Bruce, > So there's this longstanding problem that read leases should really be > broken on anything that changes an inode's metadata or any change to the > set of links pointing to the inode. > > (Cc'ing samba-technical for confirmation of that statement from Samba's > point of view....) > > So we need mutual exclusion between read leases and link, unlink, > rename, etc. As far as I know oplocks in SMB only care about content and attribute only opens (without the READ/WRITE access bits) doesn't break oplocks. So changing the modification time of a file should not break the oplock. I think link and rename doesn't break oplocks, while unlink would. But Samba requirements may change for SMB 2.2 support with directory leases. We're currently exploring what the details are. metze
