writing that they are correct for version x is not always precise. But we're working on that also :-) Signed-off-by: Bjoern Jacke <bjacke@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Garming Sam <garming@catalyst.net.nz>

<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This VFS module is part of the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
|
|
<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <command>vfs_commit</command> VFS module keeps track of
|
|
the amount of data written to a file and synchronizes it to
|
|
disk when a specified amount accumulates.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>vfs_commit</command> 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This module is stackable.</para>

<para>The original Samba software and related utilities

were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
|

by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar

to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
