6 <para>By default a Windows SMB server prevents directory
7 renames when there are open file or directory handles below
8 it in the filesystem hierarchy. Historically Samba has always
9 allowed this as POSIX filesystem semantics require it.</para>
10
11 <para>This boolean parameter allows Samba to match the Windows
12 behavior. Setting this to "yes" is a very expensive change,
13 as it forces Samba to travers the entire open file handle
14 database on every directory rename request. In a clustered
15 Samba system the cost is even greater than the non-clustered
16 case.</para>
17
18 <para>When set to "no" smbd only checks the local process
19 the client is attached to for open files below a directory
20 being renamed, instead of checking for open files across all
21 smbd processes.</para>
22
23 <para>Because of the expense in fully searching the database,
24 the default is "no", and it is recommended to be left that way
25 unless a specific Windows application requires it to be changed.</para>
26
27 <para>If the client has requested UNIX extensions (POSIX
28 pathnames) then renames are always allowed and this parameter
29 has no effect.</para>
