Configure for SMB2 Features
Table 5 List of SMB2 parameters
DefaultDescriptionParameter Name
This parameter enables SMB2
protocol. We can test SMB2 feature
max protocol = SMB2
only with Windows 7 or windows
vista client.
smb2 max read = 65536This option specifies the protocol
value that smbd(8) will return to a
smb2 max read
client, informing the client of the
largest size that may be returned by
a single SMB2 read call.
NOTE: Currently this parameter is
hardcoded to 65536 and cannot be
configured.
smb2 max write = 65536This option specifies the protocol
value that smbd(8) will return to a
smb2 max write
client, informing the client of the
largest size that may be sent to the
server by a single SMB2 write call.
NOTE: Currently this parameter is
hardcoded to 65536 and cannott be
configured.
smb2 max trans = 65536This option specifies the protocol
value that smbd(8) will return to a
smb2 max trans
client, informing the client of the
largest size of buffer that may be
used in querying file meta-data via
QUERY_INFO and related SMB2
calls.
smb2 max credits = 8192This option controls the maximum
number of outstanding simultaneous
smb2 max credits
SMB2 operations that Samba tells
the client it will allow. You should
never need to set this parameter.
async smb echo handler = noThis parameter specifies whether
Samba should fork the async smb
async smb echo handler
echo handler. It can be beneficial if
your file system can block syscalls for
a very long time. In some
circumstances, it prolongs the timeout
that Windows uses to determine
whether a connection is dead.
