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>
|
|
Some filesystems (even some journaled filesystems) require that a
|
|
fsync() be performed on many meta data operations to ensure that the
|
|
operation is guaranteed to remain in the filesystem after a power
|
|
failure. This is particularly important for some cluster filesystems
|
|
which are participating in a node failover system with clustered
|
|
Samba. On those filesystems the <command>vfs_syncops</command> VFS module
|
|
provides a way to perform those operations safely.

<para>
|
|
Most of the performance loss with the <command>vfs_syncops</command>
|
|
VFS module is in fsync on close(). You can disable that with
|
|
<command>syncops:onclose = no</command> that can be set either globally
|
|
or per share.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
On certain filesystems that only require the last data written to be
|
|
fsync()'ed, you can disable the metadata synchronization of this module with
|
|
<command>syncops:onmeta = no</command>. This option can be set either
|
|
globally or per share.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <command>vfs_syncops</command> VFS module can also be disabled
|
|
completely for a share with <command>syncops:disable = true</command>.

<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>
