I’ve been having a problem where some applications (like Google Chrome) cannot lock files on the network home folder when hosted over SMB. It affects macOS versions 10.10 through 10.13
I have tried setting locking on/off as well as trying out kernel locks, oplocks, and level 2 oplocks and posix locking is set to yes. The default locking has also been toggled to auto, yes, and no and it has not affected this error in the slightest. Client side caching has been enabled and disabled to no effect. Yes, Samba was restarted after each config change. Also of note VFS_Fruit, catia, and ea support were enabled for the network home shares to make them more compatible with Apple’s SMBX implementation. That has helped a little in general Finder related woes but file locking is my last thing to fix.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the share configuration for the Network Home location on the UCS server.

These are the errors Chrome throws when it can’t lock.
