NAME

vxfs_ifree_timelag — VxFS inode free time lag (specifies the minimum time to be spent on a freelist)

SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/kctune -s vxfs_ifree_timelag={value}

VALUE

Specify an integer value.

Minimum

None

Maximum

None

Default

0

DESCRIPTION

In VxFS, the unused inodes are put on a freelist. The memory space for this unused inode is freed if it stays on the freelist for a specified amount of time. The vxfs_ifree_timelag tunable specifies the minimum amount of time should spend on a freelist before its memory space is freed. The time is specified in seconds.

vxfs_ifree_timelag is a dynamic tunable. Any changes to vxfs_ifree_timelag take effect immediately.

EXAMPLES

Change the value of vxfs_ifree_timelag to 2400 seconds:

# kctune -s vxfs_ifree_timelag=2400

WARNING

Incorrect tuning of vxfs_ifree_timelag may adversely affect system performance.

All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. This parameter may be removed or its meaning may change in the future releases of HP-UX.

Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values. For information about the effects of installation on tunable values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was factory installed on your system, see HP-UX Release Notes at http://docs.hp.com.
