maximum wsize currently allowed by CIFS is 57344 (fourteen

+ actimeo=n attribute cache timeout in seconds (default 1 second).
+ After this timeout, the cifs client requests fresh attribute
+ information from the server. This option allows to tune the
+ attribute cache timeout to suit the workload needs. Shorter
+ timeouts mean better the cache coherency, but increased number

+ of calls to the server at the expense of less stricter cache
+ coherency checks (i.e. incorrect attribute cache for a short
