Lighttpd

server.stat-cache-engine option¶

stat() system call caching; lighttpd can utilize FAM/Gamin to cache stat call.

possible values are: disable, simple or fam.

• disable
  no stat() call is cached (a single request might result in 3-4 stat() calls)
  If your files are changing in size a lot, you might have to have the stat-cache
  disabled
• simple (default)
  cache each stat() call for one second.
• fam
  if FAM or gamin are installed and lighty is linked against those libraries you
  can use them to control the freshness of the stat-cache.
