(cc'ing samba-technical)
I don't understand. Why would we need to use NT_CREATE_ANDX in lieu of
the POSIX trans2 open if the client isn't setting a share reservation
on that particular open? The server should still enforce share
reservations that are already set on the file regardless of which
method is used.
Perhaps too we should add these flags to the POSIX open call as well.
It would be nice not to have to fall back to NT_CREATE_ANDX.
