Database Buffer Size

In the Admin tool under Server Options, is the Database Buffer Size entry in KB or bytes?

If KB, then the label should so indicate.

This is KB. The Database Buffer Size is the size of memory buffer used when retrieving files into / out of the database. Optimal size is about 256-384 KB.

I'll log a bug to make sure we indicate KB in the Admin Tool.

According to the Admin tool help screen the default is 768. If optimal is 256-384, then shouldn't the default be in that range?

Actually, Admin Tool Help is wrong.

We have a bug logged to fix it in our next Vault release.
