+ <para>The <parameter moreinfo="none">dfree cache time</parameter>
+ should only be used on systems where a problem occurs with the
+ internal disk space calculations. This has been known to happen
+ with Ultrix, but may occur with other operating systems. The
+ symptom that was seen was an error of &quot;Abort Retry
+ Ignore&quot; at the end of each directory listing.</para>
+
+ <para>This is a new parameter introduced in Samba version 3.0.21.
+ It specifies in seconds the time that smbd will cache the output
+ of a disk free query. If set to zero (the default) no caching is
+ done. This allows a heavily loaded server to prevent rapid spawning
+ of <smbconfoption name="dfree command"/>dfree command scripts
+ increasing the load.
