make changes you want to /etc/samba/smb.conf
(i'm messing with aio read size = 1, aio write size = 1, write cache size = 200k, getwd cache = true)
run ```smbcmd -l```

currently seeing a 200% increase in write speeds to both local and USB attached disks, as well as a significant apparent improvement when many files are being accessed simultaneously.

not sure how to make this a permanent change, will need to study.  The system has MANY scripts that call the program that configures smb.conf, so it may just need to be on a cronjob or something. ugh.

probably run a cron job that runs a bunch of sed's on the file to add/change the things you want to add/change, and then reloads it on the regular.
at least, if i see it being re-written regularly.

on v5, I can't really tell what init system they are using, it doesn't seem to be initd or systemd, and i'm not even remotely familiar with if there are any others, or if this is a western digital custom.
