<samba:parameter name="block size"
type="integer"
context="S"
xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
<description>
<para>This parameter controls the behavior of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> when reporting disk free
sizes. By default, this reports a disk block size of 1024 bytes.
</para>
<para>Changing this parameter may have some effect on the
efficiency of client writes, this is not yet confirmed. This
parameter was added to allow advanced administrators to change
it (usually to a higher value) and test the effect it has on
client write performance without re-compiling the code. As this
is an experimental option it may be removed in a future release.
</para>
<para>Changing this option does not change the disk free reporting
size, just the block size unit reported to the client.
