NAME

6       vfs_aio_pthread - implement async open in Samba vfs using a pthread
7       pool
8

SYNOPSIS

10       vfs objects = aio_pthread
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
14
15       The aio_pthread VFS module enables asynchronous opens (for new files)
16       with aio_pthread:aio open = yes on platforms which have the pthreads
17       API available, support the openat() syscall and support per thread
18       credentials (modern Linux kernels).
19
20       The module makes use of the global thread pool which uses the aio max
21       threads option.
22
23       This module MUST be listed last in any module stack as the Samba VFS
24       open interface is not thread-safe. This module makes direct openat()
25       system calls and does NOT call the Samba VFS open interfaces.
26

EXAMPLES

28       Straight forward use:
29
30                   [cooldata]
31                path = /data/ice
32                vfs objects = aio_pthread
33                aio_pthread:aio open = yes
34

OPTIONS

36       aio_pthread:aio open = BOOL
37           Try async opens for creating new files.
38
39           The default is 'no'.
