Schilling # # This file is /etc/default/star # # # Uncomment this to set star's default FIFO size (e.g. the value that is used # when no fs= option is present on the star command line). # #STAR_FIFOSIZE= 32m # # Uncomment this to set star's MAX FIFO size. # This tag may be used to limit the FIFO size used by star to a certain value # even if the fs= option on the command line would request for more FIFO. # This makes sense if you like to have a unique backup script that requests # e.g. 256 MB if FIFO but one of the backup client machines only has 128 MB # of RAM. # #STAR_FIFOSIZE_MAX= 100m # # In former times, enabling fsync() for each extracted file was only a problem # on platforms with extremely inefficient filesystem buffer cache (e.g. Linux). # With UFS on Solaris, enabling fsync() for each extracted file makes tar # extraction approx. 10% slower. With ext4 on Linux, this makes tar extraction # approx. 400% slower and with btrfs on Linux it makes tar extraction approx. # 2000% slower. # # Now on Solaris, we have ZFS and ZFS implements transactional filesystem # safety, but as a result of it's copy on write concepts, it is very expensive # if we request a specific state of the filesystem at a given time. With ZFS # on Solaris, enabling fsync() for each extracted file makes tar extraction # approx. 400% slower. # # If you are on a platform with a fair filesystem buffer performance # (e.g. Solaris) and do not use ZFS, you should comment out the next statement # that switches off fsync() by default. Only by enabling fsync() for each # extracted file, star may tell whether a file extraction has been successful. # STAR_FSYNC=N # # If you are frequently doing administrative work and you know that you do not # extract alien tar archives, you may uncomment the following line to tell star # to extract potentially insecure links by default. Since this sets a global # default, it is recommended to rather use a user specific default via the # environment. # #STAR_SECURE_LINKS=N # # Compatibility entries for Sun's tar. There are up to four entries per line: # # 1) The device name # 2) The blocking factor in units of 512 bytes # 3) The max media size in 1024 byte units # 0 means unlimited (no multi volume handling) # 4) Whether this is a tape or not ('n' or 'N' means no tape). # # device block size istape archive0=/dev/rmt/0 20 0 archive1=/dev/rmt/0n 20 0 archive2=/dev/rmt/1 20 0 archive3=/dev/rmt/1n 20 0 archive4=/dev/rmt/0 126 0 archive5=/dev/rmt/0n 126 0 archive6=/dev/rmt/1 126 0 archive7=/dev/rmt/1n 126 0
