samba - Jan 2005 - AW: Slow write access with Samba 3.0.10-Debian

By the way, the wait-period before the write access is "committed" or
whatever is always precisely 30 seconds, so I believe, that there may be some
timeout issue before samba is actually doing what it's supposed to do. Has
anybody got an idea?
