HP CIFS Client A.02.02.03 Administrator's Guide

lock
The number of pages to read ahead if an oplock was
granted.
noLock
The number of pages to read ahead of no oplock was
granted.
useWriteBack This variable defines whether cache write- back techniques
should be used. Write back is insecure (in terms of error
recovery) if used with NFS2, but it may increase
performance notably. The value is a dictionary with the
following keys:
lock
Boolean value which configures whether write back should
be used when an oplock has been granted.
noLock
Boolean value which configures whether write back should
be used when no oplock has been granted.
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 Windows
95 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 attributes of 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. trans2/findfirst2 is the best way to
query attributes, so only disable it if you need to.
getattrTrans2QueryPath
Suppresses the use of the trans2/query_pathinfo command
for reading file attributes. Trans2/query_pathinfo seems to
be broken on Windows 95.
attrUnix
Disables the UNIX extensions for file attributes.
