ahhh!! obviously I found what I was searching for:
oplock break wait time (G)
This is a tuning parameter added due to bugs in both Windows 9x and WinNT.
If Samba responds to a client too quickly when that client issues an SMB...
but:
DO NOT CHANGE THIS PARAMETER UNLESS YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE SAMBA
OPLOCK CODE.
My question, now: does it hurt to set
from
Default: oplock break wait time = 10
to 20 ms?
anyone experimented, here?
