Configuration Variables
Chapter 7 97
If you care about reliability, always
leave these options off. This
configuration variable is also passed
to the server. There are server/OS
combinations (notably Samba/Linux)
which become very slow in write-
through mode. You may want to
configure write back for these.
requestOplock This boolean variable defines
whether oplocks should be requested
from the server. It should be set to no
for Windows95 machines because
they grant an oplock although there
is no support for it.
closeForSetattr This boolean variable defines
whether files should be closed before
attributes (write protection,
modification dates) are changed. This
is very useful for Windows 95 servers
because these servers can not set the
attributesof open files.However, with
this feature enabled, the UNIX
semantics mapping does not work
completely. The default is no.
disableSmbs Not every server supports every SMB
command equally well. In fact, many
commands are unusable on certain
server types. The value of this
variable is an array which
enumerates the SMB commands that
should not be used. The respective
commands will be replaced by a
workaround automatically. The
enumeration constants may be taken
from the following set:
getattrFind
Suppresses the use of the
trans2/findfirst2 command for
reading file attributes.
