This is the command fs_bypassthreshold that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
fs_bypassthreshold - get/set Cache Bypass file size threshold
SYNOPSIS
fs bypassthreshold [-size <file size>] [-help]
fs bypassthresh [-s <file size>] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The fs bypassthreshold command either changes the AFS client Cache Bypass file size
threshold, or reports the current threshold. Normally, when an application tries to read
data via the OpenAFS client, the client will fetch the required data from the fileserver,
store the results in the local cache, and then serve the application request from the
local cache. When the Cache Bypass feature is enabled, certain files will be read directly
from the network, and the data will not be saved to the local cache. In some scenarios,
this can provide a significant performance improvement, especially if the data is only
read once.
Currently, the only way to specify which files should bypass the cache and which files
should not, is by file size. In the future, different mechanisms may exist for specifying
which files should bypass the local cache and which should not.
If -size is not specified, fs bypassthreshold just reports the current threshold and
exits.
CAUTIONS
Cache Bypass is still considered an experimental feature. Even in stable releases of
OpenAFS, it is not considered as stable as the rest of OpenAFS.
OPTIONS
-size <file size>
Specifies how large a file must be in order to enable Cache Bypass mode. If a file is
larger than the specified file size (in bytes), reading from that file will bypass the
local cache and be read directly from the network. A file size of -1 indicates that
Cache Bypass should be disabled complete, so no files will enable Cache Bypass mode,
no matter how large they are.
By default, Cache Bypass is disabled.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
The output format is identical whether or not -size was specified. If -size is specified,
the bypass threshold is changed, and the output represents the new, changed, threshold.
Otherwise the output represents the current threshold.
EXAMPLES
The following example turns on Cache Bypass with a threshold of 4KiB:
% fs bypassthreshold 4096
Cache bypass threshold 4096
The following example disables Cache Bypass:
% fs bypassthreshold -1
Cache bypass threshold -1 (disabled)
The following example examines the current Cache Bypass threshold:
% fs bypassthreshold
Cache bypass threshold 4096
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
To set the bypass threshold, the issuer must be logged in as the local superuser "root".
Otherwise, no privilege is required.
