6 <para>If this integer parameter is set to a non-zero value,
7 Samba will write to files asynchronously when the request size is bigger
8 than this value. Note that it happens only for non-chained and non-chaining
9 reads and when not using write cache.</para>
10 <para>The only reasonable values for this parameter are 0 (no async I/O) and
11 1 (always do async I/O).</para>
12 <para>Compared to <smbconfoption name="aio read size"/> this parameter has
13 a smaller effect, most writes should end up in the
14 file system cache. Writes that require space allocation might
15 benefit most from going asynchronous.</para>
