CIFS Release Notes

Workaround
Use the "-m" option with useradd when adding a POSIX machine account. The home
directory will be created for the new account if it does not exist.
• Problem
The delete operation on a large number of files from a directory takes a long time to complete.
Workaround
One workaround is to close the Windows Explorer after the delete process is started. Beginning
with A.02.03.01, another workaround is to set the "change notify timeout" smb.conf
parameter to zero. When set to zero, change notification messages will not be sent and the
long delays will not occur. Clients will then need to initiate updates (pressing F5) to view
changes that may have occurred on the file share. Beginning with A.02.03.01, the "change
notify timeout" parameter moves from a global to share level parameter. The "change
notify timeout" parameter is not available from A.02.04 onwards.
