+.SH "NAME"
+vfs_syncops \- Ensure meta data operations are performed synchronously\&.
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\ 'u
+vfs objects = syncops
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This VFS module is part of the
+\fBsamba\fR(7)
+suite\&.
+.PP
+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
+vfs_syncops
+VFS module provides a way to perform those operations safely\&.
+.PP
+This module is stackable\&.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION"
+.PP
+Most of the performance loss with the
+vfs_syncops
+VFS module is in fsync on close()\&. You can disable that with
+syncops:onclose = no
+that can be set either globally or per share\&.
+.PP
+On certain filesystems that only require the last data written to be fsync()\*(Aqed, you can disable the metadata synchronization of this module with
+syncops:onmeta = no\&. This option can be set either globally or per share\&.
+.PP
+The
+vfs_syncops
+VFS module can also be disabled completely for a share with
+syncops:disable = true\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+Add syncops functionality for [share]:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+ \fI[share]\fR
+ \m[blue]\fBpath = /data/share\fR\m[]
+ \m[blue]\fBvfs objects = syncops\fR\m[]
+ \m[blue]\fBsyncops:onclose = no\fR\m[]

+.SH "VERSION"
+.PP
+This man page is part of version 4\&.19\&.5\-git\&.342\&.57620c4f7eSUSE\-oS16\&.9\-x86_64 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\&.
