Subject: [PATCH] qemu-options: Improve description for -smb option
Date: Sat,  2 Aug 2025 13:05:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250802110549.23438-1-pali@kernel.org> (raw)

Add #PRE and #NOFNR flags to LMHOSTS example line.
Include information about LMHOSTS path on Windows 3.x.

Windows NT 3.1 requires #NOFNR flag for successful hostname resolving as
described in MS article Q103765 because qemu/smbd does not respond to
netbios name verification queries. #PRE is suggested in that article too
and decrease delay on Windows 3.x for the first connection.
