| 6 | <para>Many Windows applications (including the Windows 98 explorer
|
|---|
| 7 | shell) seem to confuse flushing buffer contents to disk with doing
|
|---|
| 8 | a sync to disk. Under UNIX, a sync call forces the process to be
|
|---|
| 9 | suspended until the kernel has ensured that all outstanding data in
|
|---|
| 10 | kernel disk buffers has been safely stored onto stable storage.
|
|---|
| 11 | This is very slow and should only be done rarely. Setting this
|
|---|
| 12 | parameter to <constant>no</constant> (the default) means that
|
|---|
| 13 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
|
|---|
| 14 | <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> ignores the Windows
|
|---|
| 15 | applications requests for a sync call. There is only a possibility
|
|---|
| 16 | of losing data if the operating system itself that Samba is running
|
|---|
| 17 | on crashes, so there is little danger in this default setting. In
|
|---|
| 18 | addition, this fixes many performance problems that people have
|
|---|
| 19 | reported with the new Windows98 explorer shell file copies.</para>
