<samba:parameter name="dos filetime resolution"

type="boolean"
xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
<description>
<para>Under the DOS and Windows FAT filesystem, the finest
granularity on time resolution is two seconds. Setting this parameter
for a share causes Samba to round the reported time down to the
nearest two second boundary when a query call that requires one second
resolution is made to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>This option is mainly used as a compatibility option for Visual
C++ when used against Samba shares. If oplocks are enabled on a
share, Visual C++ uses two different time reading calls to check if a
file has changed since it was last read. One of these calls uses a
one-second granularity, the other uses a two second granularity. As
the two second call rounds any odd second down, then if the file has a
timestamp of an odd number of seconds then the two timestamps will not
match and Visual C++ will keep reporting the file has changed. Setting
this option causes the two timestamps to match, and Visual C++ is
happy.</para>
