+.SH "NAME"
+vfs_readahead \- pre\-load the kernel buffer cache
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\ 'u
+vfs objects = readahead
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This VFS module is part of the
+\fBsamba\fR(7)
+suite\&.
+.PP
+This
+vfs_readahead
+VFS module detects read requests at multiples of a given offset (hex 0x80000 by default) and then tells the kernel via either the readahead system call (on Linux) or the posix_fadvise system call to pre\-fetch this data into the buffer cache\&.
+.PP
+This module is useful for Windows Vista clients reading data using the Windows Explorer program, which asynchronously does multiple file read requests at offset boundaries of 0x80000 bytes\&.
+.PP
+The offset multiple used is given by the readahead:offset option, which defaults to 0x80000\&.
+.PP
+The size of the disk read operations performed by
+vfs_readahead
+is determined by the readahead:length option\&. By default this is set to the same value as the readahead:offset option and if not set explicitly will use the current value of readahead:offset\&.
+.PP
+This module is stackable\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+readahead:offset = BYTES
+.RS 4
+The offset multiple that causes readahead to be requested of the kernel buffer cache\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+readahead:length = BYTES
+.RS 4
+The number of bytes requested to be read into the kernel buffer cache on each readahead call\&.

+This man page is part of version 4\&.19\&.5 of the Samba suite\&.
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+.PP
+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\&.
