[cifs-protocol] Q.8 Durability without SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_PERSISTENT_HANDLES- TrackingID#2311070040010257

[Stefan Metzmacher]

Hi Sreekanth,

> section "3.3.5.9.10 Handling the SMB2_CREATE_DURABLE_HANDLE_REQUEST_V2 Create Context" has following text
> 
> If the SMB2_DHANDLE_FLAG_PERSISTENT bit is set in the Flags field of the request, TreeConnect.Share.IsCA is TRUE, and Connection.ServerCapabilities includes SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_PERSISTENT_HANDLES, the server MUST set Open.IsPersistent to TRUE
> 
> We clearly see that establishing durable handle as per sections 3.2.4.28/3.2.4.29 (from Question 8)  cannot disregard SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_PERSISTENT_HANDLES. So it is necessary to have both SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_PERSISTENT_HANDLES and SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CONTINUOUS_AVAILABILITY (which sets .IsCA property of network share)

> The impact of SMB2_SHARE_CAP_CONTINUOUS_AVAILABILITY without SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_PERSISTENT_HANDLES is a very important part of this.

I guess this related to Question 6.

I guess we can close Question 8.

Thanks!
