SMB (Samba) Server-Side Copy Support: Enabled for Mac OS?

For anyone looking to enable this, you should not modify /etc/smb4.conf directly, as these changes will not persist.

Instead, open a shell and type:

cli

Then

service smb update smb_options="fruit:copyfile = yes"

And restart the SMB service. You can cat /etc/smb4.conf to see if the option was added for you.
