If they are, either disable them, enable them globally on your Samba server, or move your MiSTer files to a different share exclusively used for MiSTer and without Kernel Oplocks enabled. It is up to you to decide which one fits better your use case: Kernel Oplocks are enabled by default in many NAS for good reason, as this should prevent bad file synchronization, corruption, and data loss when the shared folder is used by different protocols (i.e. CIFS and NFS) or by network clients and software running in the NAS like a torrent client. ## RetroNAS -A project was launched that makes it easier to get a network attached storage (NAS) device up and running which was focused solely on retro gaming device compatibility. The MiSTer was one of their primary focuses and it works quite well. All you need is a Raspberry Pi4 and some kind of external hard drive storage device. Remember: NAS IS NOT BACKUP! You could lose data if you rely solely on a NAS for important data. They have a good [installation guide](https://github.com/danmons/retronas/wiki/Installing-RetroNAS){target=_blank} that is simple to follow and [MiSTer-specific instructions](https://github.com/danmons/retronas/wiki/MiSTer-FPGA){target=_blank} to help get you started.
