I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find anything

lots off 'windows has detected that offline caching is enabled on

so, how do I sort it? I've found references to 'csc policy =
disable' but this is not recognised in samba4 smb.conf.
Probably someone needs to take the time to port this feature from the
Samba3 based fileserver to the Samba4 based one. Patches welcome:-)
Confused on both the question and answer...
Is the question 'How do I enable offline caching for shares in
Samba4', or 'how do I *disable* offline caching for a specific share
in samba4'?
Then, Volker, which one of these questions does your answer pertain
to? Meaning, does Samba4 *not* have an option to 'disable offline
caching' for specific shares?
That said, Microsoft requires that offline caching be disabled on the
roaming profiles share for Windows XP/2000 clients. Thankfully they
have solved this problem with Vista/7 clients, and using Roaming
Profiles + Redirected Folders (which is now recommended best practice)
works much better, in fact pretty much seamlessly, even in cases where
lots of 'disconnected' users (ie, laptops that come and go) exist...
The question was 'how do I _disable_ offline caching' and no, there does
not appear to be a way to do this in Samba4.
