+.SH "NAME"
+vfs_time_audit \- samba vfs module to log slow VFS operations
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\ 'u
+vfs objects = time_audit
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This VFS module is part of the
+\fBsamba\fR(7)
+suite\&.
+.PP
+The
+time_audit
+VFS module logs system calls that take longer than the number of milliseconds defined by the variable
+time_audit:audit_timeout\&. It will log the calls and the time spent in it\&.
+.PP
+It\'s kind of comparable with
+strace \-T
+and is helpful to reveal performance problems with the underlying file and storage subsystems\&.
+.PP
+This module is stackable\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+time_audit:audit_timeout = number of milliseconds
+.RS 4
+VFS calls that take longer than the defined number of milliseconds that should be logged\&. The default is 10000 (10s)\&.
+.RE
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+This would log VFS calls that take longer than 3 seconds:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+        \fI[sample_share]\fR
+	\m[blue]\fBpath = /test/sample_share\fR\m[]
+	\m[blue]\fBvfs objects = time_audit\fR\m[]
+	\m[blue]\fBtime_audit: audit_timeout = 3000\fR\m[]
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.SH "VERSION"
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 3\&.6\&.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\&.
+.PP
+The time_audit VFS module was created with contributions from Abhidnya Chirmule\&.
