<para>
The SMB3 protocol introduced the SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CONTINUOUS_AVAILABILITY
flag. It means clients can have different expectations from the
server (or cluster of servers).
</para>
<para>
Note: this option only applies to disk shares.
</para>
<para>In a ctdb cluster shares are continuously available,
but windows clients mix this with the global persistent
handles support.
</para>
<para>Persistent handles are requested if
SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CONTINUOUS_AVAILABILITY is present
even without SMB2_CAP_PERSISTENT_HANDLES.
</para>
<para>And SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CONTINUOUS_AVAILABILITY is
required for SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CLUSTER to have
an effect.
</para>
<para>So we better don't announce this by default
until we support persistent handles.
</para>
<para>The <smbconfoption name="smb3 share cap:CONTINUOUS AVAILABILITY"/> option
can be used to force the announcement of SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CONTINUOUS_AVAILABILITY.
</para>
<para>
Warning: only use this if you know what you are doing!
</para>
<programlisting>
smb3 share cap:CONTINUOUS AVAILABILITY = yes

<description>
<para>
The SMB3 protocol introduced the SMB2_SHARE_CAP_SCALEOUT
flag. It means clients can have different expectations from
cluster of multiple servers and alters the retry/reconnect
behavior.
</para>
<para>
Note: this option only applies to disk shares.
</para>
<para>In a ctdb cluster we have multiple active nodes,
so we announce SMB2_SHARE_CAP_SCALEOUT in a cluster.
</para>
<para>The <smbconfoption name="smb3 share cap:SCALE OUT"/> option
can be used to disable the announcement of SMB2_SHARE_CAP_SCALEOUT,
even if <smbconfoption name="clustering"/> is yes.
</para>
<programlisting>
clustering = yes
smb3 share cap: SCALE OUT = no

<description>
<para>
The SMB3 protocol introduced the SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CLUSTER
flag. It means clients can expect that all cluster nodes
provide a witness service in order to use the [MS-SWN]
protocol to monitor the server cluster.
</para>
<para>
Note: this option only applies to disk shares.
</para>
<para>rpcd_witness is only active if
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba-dcerpcd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
is not started as on demand helper and only in a ctdb cluster.
</para>
<para>So we announce SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CLUSTER only if
<smbconfoption name="clustering"/> is yes and
<smbconfoption name="rpc start on demand helpers"/> is no.
</para>
<para>The <smbconfoption name="smb3 share cap:SCALE OUT"/> option
can be used to control the announcement of SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CLUSTER
independent of
<smbconfoption name="clustering"/> and
<smbconfoption name="rpc start on demand helpers"/>.
</para>
<para>Example to disable the announcement of SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CLUSTER:
</para>
<programlisting>
clustering = yes
rpc start on demand helpers = no
smb3 share cap: CLUSTER = no
</programlisting>
<para>Example to force the announcement of SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CLUSTER:
</para>
<programlisting>
smb3 share cap: CLUSTER = yes
</programlisting>
<para>Example to let Windows clients use the witness service,
see <smbconfoption name="smb3 share cap:CONTINUOUS AVAILABILITY"/> option
and USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!:
</para>
<programlisting>
clustering = yes
rpc start on demand helpers = no
# This is the default with the above:
# smb3 share cap: CLUSTER = yes
#
# Use at you own risk!
smb3 share cap: CONTINUOUS AVAILABILITY = yes

<description>
<para>
The SMB3_02 protocol introduced the SMB2_SHARE_CAP_ASYMMETRIC
flag. It means clients alters its behavior and uses
isolated transport connections and witness registrations for
the share. It means a client may connect to different
cluster nodes for individual shares and
<command>net witness share-move</command> can be used
to control the node usage.
</para>
<para>
Note: this option only applies to disk shares.
</para>
<para>Shares in a ctdb cluster are symmetric by design,
so we don't announce SMB2_SHARE_CAP_ASYMMETRIC by default.

can be used to force the announcement of SMB2_SHARE_CAP_ASYMMETRIC.
