+<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.
