39 .'<p>Simple patch to increase virtual block size of SMB filesytem in Linux'
40 .' kernel. For me it improved tranfer rate of <code>cp</code> command almost'
41 .' by a factor of <strong>2</strong> (approx. 700KB -> 1300KB or something'
42 .' like about it). Now <code>cp</code> should be as fast as <code>cat</code>'
43 .' redirected across networked filesystems.</p>'
44 .' <p>Unfortunately the blocksize causes different (4 times smaller) sizes'
45 .' reported by <code>du</code> command as it measures it in <i>blocks</i>'
46 .' and not in <i>kilobytes</i> as some people think.</p>'
