<para>Many Windows applications (including the Windows 98 explorer
|
|
shell) seem to confuse flushing buffer contents to disk with doing
|
|
a sync to disk. Under UNIX, a sync call forces the process to be
|
|
suspended until the kernel has ensured that all outstanding data in
|
|
kernel disk buffers has been safely stored onto stable storage.
|
|
This is very slow and should only be done rarely. Setting this
|
|
parameter to <constant>no</constant> (the default) means that
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
|
|
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> ignores the Windows
|
|
applications requests for a sync call. There is only a possibility
|
|
of losing data if the operating system itself that Samba is running
|
|
on crashes, so there is little danger in this default setting. In
|
|
addition, this fixes many performance problems that people have
|
|
reported with the new Windows98 explorer shell file copies.</para>
