<samba:parameter name="strict allocate"

type="boolean"
xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
<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>
