<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_prealloc</command> VFS module preallocates
|
|
files to a specified size each time a new file is created. This
|
|
is useful in environments where files are of a predetermined
|
|
size will be written to a disk subsystem where extending file
|
|
allocations is expensive. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This module is stackable.</para>
