+<description>
+ <para>
+ This parameter controls whether SMB share modes are
+ translated into UNIX flocks.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Kernel share modes provide a minimal level of interoperability
+ with local UNIX processes and NFS operations by preventing
+ access with flocks corresponding to the SMB share modes.
+ Generally, it is very desirable to leave this enabled.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Note that in order to use SMB2 durable file handles on a share,
+ you have to turn kernel share modes off.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This parameter defaults to <constant>yes</constant> and
+ is translated to a no-op on systems that do not have the
+ necessary kernel flock support.
