.SH "NAME"
vfs_commit \- flush dirty data at specified intervals
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\ 'u
vfs objects = commit
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This VFS module is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(7)
suite\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
This module is stackable\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
commit:dthresh = BYTES
.RS 4
Synchronize file data each time the specified number of bytes has been written\&.
.sp
The following suffixes may be applied to BYTES:
.RS
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
K
\- BYTES is a number of kilobytes
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
M
\- BYTES is a number of megabytes
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
G
\- BYTES is a number of gigabytes
.RE
.sp
.RE
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Synchronize the file data on the [precious] share after every 512 kilobytes (524288 bytes) of data is written:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
\fI[precious]\fR
\m[blue]\fBpath = /data/precious\fR\m[]
\m[blue]\fBvfs objects = commit\fR\m[]
\m[blue]\fBcommit:dthresh = 512K\fR\m[]
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "CAVEATS"
.PP
On some systems, the data synchronization performed by
commit
may reduce performance\&.
.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\&.
