1 <samba:parameter name="defer sharing violations"

8 Windows allows specifying how a file will be shared with
9 other processes when it is opened. Sharing violations occur when
10 a file is opened by a different process using options that violate
11 the share settings specified by other processes. This parameter causes
12 smbd to act as a Windows server does, and defer returning a "sharing
13 violation" error message for up to one second, allowing the client
14 to close the file causing the violation in the meantime.
17 <para>UNIX by default does not have this behaviour.</para>
20 There should be no reason to turn off this parameter, as it is
21 designed to enable Samba to more correctly emulate Windows.
25 <value type="default">True</value>
