vfs_commit — flush dirty data at specified intervals
vfs objects = commit
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_commit VFS module keeps track of the amount of data written to a file and synchronizes it to disk when a specified amount accumulates.
vfs_commit 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.
This module is stackable.
Synchronize file data each time the specified number of bytes has been written.
The following suffixes may be applied to BYTES:
K - BYTES is a number of kilobytes
M - BYTES is a number of megabytes
G - BYTES is a number of gigabytes
