-<description>
- <para>This SMB allows a client to tell a server to
- &quot;watch&quot; a particular directory for any changes and only reply to
- the SMB request when a change has occurred. Such constant scanning of
- a directory is expensive under UNIX, hence an <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
- <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> daemon only performs such a scan
- on each requested directory once every <parameter moreinfo="none">change notify
- timeout</parameter> seconds. Note that in 3.0.23 this has been changed to a
- per-share parameter and setting this to zero prevents any change notify directory
- scans completely on a share. This is to allow this paramter to be set to zero on
- shares configured for very large directories, where a Windows client will re-scan
- the entire directory after every delete operation (when deleting many files) due to
- the change notify triggering. This is an extremely expensive operation on some
- systems.</para>
