	<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.
	</para>

<value type="default"><comment>By default this parameter is zero, meaning no caching
