.SH "NAME"
vfs_aio_pthread \- implement async open in Samba vfs using a pthread pool
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\ 'u
vfs objects = aio_pthread
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This VFS module is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(7)
suite\&.
.PP
The
aio_pthread
VFS module enables asynchronous opens (for new files) with
\m[blue]\fBaio_pthread:aio open = yes\fR\m[]
on platforms which have the pthreads API available, support the openat() syscall and support per thread credentials (modern Linux kernels)\&.
.PP
The module makes use of the global thread pool which uses the
\m[blue]\fBaio max threads\fR\m[]
option\&.
.PP
This module MUST be listed last in any module stack as the Samba VFS open interface is not thread\-safe\&. This module makes direct openat() system calls and does NOT call the Samba VFS open interfaces\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Straight forward use:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
        \fI[cooldata]\fR
	\m[blue]\fBpath = /data/ice\fR\m[]
	\m[blue]\fBvfs objects = aio_pthread\fR\m[]
	\m[blue]\fBaio_pthread:aio open = yes\fR\m[]
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
aio_pthread:aio open = BOOL
.RS 4
Try async opens for creating new files\&.
.sp
The default is \*(Aqno\*(Aq\&.
.RE
.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is part of version 4\&.20\&.0 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\&.
