    <para>This parameter controls whether or not the server 
    will support the raw read SMB requests when transferring data 
    to clients.</para>

    <para>If enabled, raw reads allow reads of 65535 bytes in 
    one packet. This typically provides a major performance benefit.
    </para>

    <para>However, some clients either negotiate the allowable 
    block size incorrectly or are incapable of supporting larger block 
    sizes, and for these clients you may need to disable raw reads.</para>

    <para>In general this parameter should be viewed as a system tuning 
    tool and left severely alone. See also <link linkend="WRITERAW">
    <parameter moreinfo="none">write raw</parameter></link>.</para>

    <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">read raw = yes</command></para>
