Oplocks
Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of the LAN Manager networking protocol implemented in
the 32-Bit Windows family of operating system environments. Oplocks are guarantees made by a server for a
shared logical volume to its clients. These guarantees inform the Client that a file's content will not be allowed
to be changed by the server, or if some change is imminent, the client will be notified before the change is
allowed to proceed.
Oplocks are designed to increase network performance when it comes to network file sharing however when
using file-based database applications it is recommended to set the share oplocks to No (off).
By default Vista has Oplocks enabled and can not be disabled. If you are having network performance issues
with applications sharing files from the ShareCenter™ 2Go you may try to improve performance by setting
Oplocks to No (off).
Map Archive
Map archive, When enabled, the file attribute--"Archive" will be copied as the file is being stored on the
ShareCenter™ 2Go. Certain backup software programs attach this attribute to files that are being stored as
backups.
