+
+ <para>This VFS module is part of the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+ <para>The <command>time_audit</command> VFS module logs system calls
+ that take longer than the number of milliseconds defined by the variable
+ <command>time_audit:audit_timeout</command>. It will log the calls and
+ the time spent in it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>It's kind of comparable with <command>strace -T</command> and
+ is helpful to reveal performance problems with the underlying file
+ and storage subsystems.</para>
+
+ <para>This module is stackable.</para>
