+ <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"/> scripts increasing the load.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By default this parameter is zero, meaning no caching will be done.
