1 <samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
2 <term><anchor id="BLOCKSIZE"/>block size (S)</term>
3 <listitem><para>This parameter controls the behavior of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
4 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> when reporting disk free
5 sizes. By default, this reports a disk block size of 1024 bytes.
8 <para>Changing this parameter may have some effect on the
9 efficiency of client writes, this is not yet confirmed. This
10 parameter was added to allow advanced administrators to change
11 it (usually to a higher value) and test the effect it has on
12 client write performance without re-compiling the code. As this
13 is an experimental option it may be removed in a future release.
16 <para>Changing this option does not change the disk free reporting
17 size, just the block size unit reported to the client.</para>
