It is set in the smb.conf file. It is located under /etc/samba/.
You will have to restart samba for the change to take place. Do that by
issuing the following:
/etc/init.d/smb restart.
The setting is placed in the share definitions section, not in the
global settings where server level definitions are placed.
See http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html for
more details.
excerpt:
block size (S)
This parameter controls the behavior of smbd(8)
<http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smbd.8.html> when
reporting disk free sizes. By default, this reports a disk block
size of 1024 bytes.
Changing this parameter may have some effect on the efficiency of
client writes, this is not yet confirmed. This parameter was added
to allow advanced administrators to change it (usually to a higher
value) and test the effect it has on client write performance
without re-compiling the code. As this is an experimental option it
may be removed in a future release.
Changing this option does not change the disk free reporting size,
just the block size unit reported to the client.
Default: //|block size|/ = |1024| /
Example: //|block size|/ = |4096|/
Hope this helps.
