+ <term><anchor id="DOSFILETIMERESOLUTION"/>dos filetime resolution (S)</term>
+ <listitem><para>Under the DOS and Windows FAT filesystem, the finest
+ granularity on time resolution is two seconds. Setting this parameter
+ for a share causes Samba to round the reported time down to the
+ nearest two second boundary when a query call that requires one second
+ resolution is made to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>This option is mainly used as a compatibility option for Visual
+ C++ when used against Samba shares. If oplocks are enabled on a
+ share, Visual C++ uses two different time reading calls to check if a
+ file has changed since it was last read. One of these calls uses a
+ one-second granularity, the other uses a two second granularity. As
+ the two second call rounds any odd second down, then if the file has a
+ timestamp of an odd number of seconds then the two timestamps will not
+ match and Visual C++ will keep reporting the file has changed. Setting
+ this option causes the two timestamps to match, and Visual C++ is
+ happy.</para>
