<samba:parameter name="defer sharing violations" context="G" type="boolean" developer="1" xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc"> <description> <para> Windows allows specifying how a file will be shared with other processes when it is opened. Sharing violations occur when a file is opened by a different process using options that violate the share settings specified by other processes. This parameter causes smbd to act as a Windows server does, and defer returning a "sharing violation" error message for up to one second, allowing the client to close the file causing the violation in the meantime. </para> <para>Unix by default does not have this behaviour.</para> <para> There should be no reason to turn off this parameter, as it is designed to enable Samba to more correctly emulate Windows. </para> </description> <value type="default">True</value> </samba:parameter>
