If those options are a problem for you you can always adjust them to
suit your needs and even turn them off, however, I've not had these
server file problems you describe with our inhouse server-based
databases.  It sounds to me like you have more of a SHARing problem.
Are you utilizing share properly with the appropriate files and locks
defined for your database?  Have you attempted to flag all you database
files (only the DBs, not the indexes) for Transactional Tracking?
