One other thing: it does look like there is work currently in
progress for brining kernel oplocks to FreeBSD. Do a search
for "oplock" on the last few weeks' samba-devel archives. I'm
not sure what list it's being discussed on, but posts from
Mr. Lemmon and Mr. Jordan were seen showing in interest in this
endeavor.
If you are new to samba (as I was 8 weeks ago), make sure to
read the smbd.conf man page very carefully. Personally, I think
they've gotten a little carried away with trying to get samba
to "do the right thing all by its little self". Pay careful
attention to wording along the lines of: If <thingX> is available,
this configuration directive will default to <stateY> or <thingZ>
will not be active regardless if you have also enabled <thingA>.
Contact me off-list (admin@eecs.ku.dontspammedammit.edu) if you
have other non-bsd related questions. I might at least be able
to point you in the right direction.
