12 This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
13
14 The vfs_commit VFS module keeps track of the amount of data written to
15 a file and synchronizes it to disk when a specified amount accumulates.
16
17 vfs_commit is useful in two circumstances. First, if you have very
18 precious data, the impact of unexpected power loss can be minimized by
19 a small commit:dthresh value. Secondly, write performance can be
20 improved on some systems by flushing file data early and at regular
21 intervals.
22
23 This module is stackable.
24
26 commit:dthresh = BYTES
27 Synchronize file data each time the specified number of bytes has
28 been written.
29
30 The following suffixes may be applied to BYTES:
31
32 • K - BYTES is a number of kilobytes
33
34 • M - BYTES is a number of megabytes
35
36 • G - BYTES is a number of gigabytes
37
38
40 Synchronize the file data on the [precious] share after every 512
41 kilobytes (524288 bytes) of data is written:
42
43 [precious]
44 path = /data/precious
45 vfs objects = commit
46 commit:dthresh = 512K
47
49 On some systems, the data synchronization performed by commit may
50 reduce performance.

53 This man page is part of version 4.15.2 of the Samba suite.
54
56 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
57 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
58 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
