This parameter specifies whether Samba should fork the async smb echo handler. It can be beneficial if your file system can block syscalls for a very long time. In some circumstances, it prolongs the timeout that Windows uses to determine whether a connection is dead. This parameter is only for SMB1. For SMB2 and above TCP keepalives can be used instead.
