+<description>
+ <para>This is a boolean that controls the handling of
+ disk space allocation in the server. When this is set to <constant>yes</constant>
+ the server will change from UNIX behaviour of not committing real
+ disk storage blocks when a file is extended to the Windows behaviour
+ of actually forcing the disk system to allocate real storage blocks
+ when a file is created or extended to be a given size. In UNIX
+ terminology this means that Samba will stop creating sparse files.
+ This can be slow on some systems.</para>
+
+ <para>When strict allocate is <constant>no</constant> the server does sparse
+ disk block allocation when a file is extended.</para>
+
+ <para>Setting this to <constant>yes</constant> can help Samba return
+ out of quota messages on systems that are restricting the disk quota
+ of users.</para>
