You can provide a list of filenames that are never granted opportunistic locks with the
veto
oplock
files option. This option can be set either globally or on a per-share basis. For example:
veto oplock files = /*.bat/*.htm/
The value of this option is a series of patterns. Each pattern entry must begin, end, or be separated from another with a slash ( / ) character, even if there is only one pattern listed. Asterisks can be used as a wildcard to represent zero or more characters. Questions marks can be used to represent exactly one character.
We recommend that you disable oplocks on any files that are meant to be updated by Unix or are intended to be shared by several processes simultaneously.
