 <title>AIX: Sequential Read Ahead</title>
 <!-- From an email by William Jojo <jojowil at hvcc.edu> -->

-Disabling sequential read ahead using <userinput>vmtune -r 0</userinput> improves 
-Samba performance significantly.
+Disabling sequential read ahead can improve Samba performance significantly
+when there is a relatively high level of multiprogramming (many smbd processes
+or mixed with another workload), not an abundance of physical memory or slower
+disk technology. These can cause AIX to have a higher WAIT values. Disabling
+sequential read-ahead can also have an adverse affect on other workloads in the
+system so you will need to evaluate other applications for impact.

+<para>
+It is recommended to use the defaults provided by IBM, but if you experience a
+high amount of wait time, try disabling read-ahead with the following commands:

+ioo commands.
