Synopsis

Allowable values: decimal number of bytes

Default: 0 (disabled)

Allocates a write buffer of the specified size in which Samba accumulates data before a write to disk. This option can be used to ensure that each write has the optimal size for a given filesystem. It is typically used with RAID drives, which have a preferred write size, and with systems that have large memory and slow disks.
