[Samba] [questions] aio settings in smb.conf and compile options

[Michael Gasch]

hi,

i just have some questions about specific (uncommon) compile options and 
aio-settings in smb.conf:

Asynchronous IO Support
=======================

"Experimental support for async IO has been added to smbd for
certain platforms.  To enable this new feature, Samba must be
compiled to include the --with-aio-support configure option.
In addition, the "aio read size" and "aio write size" to non-zero
values.  See the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on these
settings.

unfortunately i can´t find any documentation about this although it has 
been in the code since a while."

Compile Options - what means/provides (more detailed please) ... ?
==================================================================
--with-cluster-support
--with-automount

BIG THX!!!!!!

btw: what happened to john? is he still an active member of the samba 
team, ´cause i did not see any posts on the list for example?!?!
