1 <samba:parameter name="block size"

6 <para>This parameter controls the behavior of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
7 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> when reporting disk free
8 sizes. By default, this reports a disk block size of 1024 bytes.
11 <para>Changing this parameter may have some effect on the
12 efficiency of client writes, this is not yet confirmed. This
13 parameter was added to allow advanced administrators to change
14 it (usually to a higher value) and test the effect it has on
15 client write performance without re-compiling the code. As this
16 is an experimental option it may be removed in a future release.
19 <para>Changing this option does not change the disk free reporting
20 size, just the block size unit reported to the client.
24 <value type="default">1024</value>
