NAME

vfs_commit - flush dirty data at specified intervals  

SYNOPSIS

vfs objects = commit
 

DESCRIPTION

This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

The vfs_commit VFS module keeps track of the amount of data written to a file and synchronizes it to disk when a specified amount accumulates.

vfs_commit is useful in two circumstances. First, if you have very precious data, the impact of unexpected power loss can be minimized by a small commit:dthresh value. Secondly, write performance can be improved on some systems by flushing file data early and at regular intervals.

This module is stackable.  

OPTIONS

commit:dthresh = BYTES

Synchronize file data each time the specified number of bytes has been written.

The following suffixes may be applied to BYTES:

• K - BYTES is a number of kilobytes

• M - BYTES is a number of megabytes

• G - BYTES is a number of gigabytes

 

EXAMPLES

Synchronize the file data on the [precious] share after every 512 kilobytes (524288 bytes) of data is written:

        [precious]
        m[blue]path = /data/preciousm[]
        m[blue]vfs objects = commitm[]
        m[blue]commit:dthresh = 512Km[]
 

CAVEATS

On some systems, the data synchronization performed by commit may reduce performance.
