6 <para>Under the DOS and Windows FAT filesystem, the finest
7 granularity on time resolution is two seconds. Setting this parameter
8 for a share causes Samba to round the reported time down to the
9 nearest two second boundary when a query call that requires one second
10 resolution is made to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
11 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
13 <para>This option is mainly used as a compatibility option for Visual
14 C++ when used against Samba shares. If oplocks are enabled on a
15 share, Visual C++ uses two different time reading calls to check if a
16 file has changed since it was last read. One of these calls uses a
17 one-second granularity, the other uses a two second granularity. As
18 the two second call rounds any odd second down, then if the file has a
19 timestamp of an odd number of seconds then the two timestamps will not
20 match and Visual C++ will keep reporting the file has changed. Setting
21 this option causes the two timestamps to match, and Visual C++ is
