+ The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ daemon maintains an database of file locks obtained by SMB clients. The default behavior is
+ to map this internal database to POSIX locks. This means that file locks obtained by SMB clients are
+ consistent with those seen by POSIX compliant applications accessing the files via a non-SMB
+ method (e.g. NFS or local file access). You should never need to disable this parameter.
