+       Samba will not wait until write requests are finished before returning
+       the result to the client for files listed in this parameter.
+       Instead, Samba will immediately return that the write
+       request has been finished successfully, no matter if the
+       operation will succeed or not. This might speed up clients without
+       aio support, but is really dangerous, because data could be lost
+       and files could be damaged.
