<samba:parameter name="lock spin count" context="G" xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common"> <listitem> <para>This parameter controls the number of times that smbd should attempt to gain a byte range lock on the behalf of a client request. Experiments have shown that Windows 2k servers do not reply with a failure if the lock could not be immediately granted, but try a few more times in case the lock could later be aquired. This behavior is used to support PC database formats such as MS Access and FoxPro. </para> <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">lock spin count = 2</command></para> </listitem> </samba:parameter>
