+ <para>If this integer parameter is set to a non-zero value,
+ Samba will write to files asynchronously when the request size is bigger
+ than this value. Note that it happens only for non-chained and non-chaining
+ writes.</para>
+ <para>The only reasonable values for this parameter are 0 (no async I/O) and
+ 1 (always do async I/O).</para>
+ <para>Compared to <smbconfoption name="aio read size"/> this parameter has
+ a smaller effect, most writes should end up in the
+ file system cache. Writes that require space allocation might
+ benefit most from going asynchronous.</para>
