+VFS ReadAhead Plugin
+====================
+
+Windows Vista introduces pipe-lined read support for improved
+performance when transferring files. The new vfs_readahead plugin
+allows Linux file servers to utilize additional Kernel buffers
+for caching files in order to avoid Disk I/O wait time when serving
+Vista clients. If you experience poor read performance between
+Linux servers and Vista clients, please test the vfs_readahead
+module by adding the following lines to the share definition
+in smb.conf:
+
+[file_share]
+ vfs objects = readahead
+
+Note that this plugin will result in additional RAM requirements
+due to the increased amount of kernel buffer caches used by smbd.
+Please refer to vfs_readahead(8) for more information.
+
+
+Windows Vista, Office 2007, and Offline Files
+=============================================
+
+Research surrounding offline files, Windows Vista, and Microsoft
+Office 2007 has revealed a incompatibility between these
+applications and the "map acl inherit = no" setting in smb.conf.
+Users requiring support client side caching (csc) and offline
+files are encouraged to enable the "map acl inherit" for any
+affected share definitions in the server's configuration.
+Future versions of Samba will enable this setting by default.
+
+Please refer to the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on
+"map acl inherit".
