<samba:parameter name="allocation roundup size"

<description>
    <para>This parameter allows an administrator to tune the 
    allocation size reported to Windows clients.  The default 
    size of 1Mb generally results in improved Windows client
    performance.   However, rounding the allocation size may cause
    difficulties for some applications, e.g. MS Visual Studio.
    If the MS Visual Studio compiler starts to crash with an
    internal error, set this parameter to zero for this share.
    </para>

    <para>The integer parameter specifies the roundup size in bytes.</para>
