Configuration options:
DATA_PATH
where to store files with usage statistics and daemon
lock file
LABEL
the label of this chunkserver (for tiering)
WORKING_USER
user to run daemon as
WORKING_GROUP
group to run daemon as (optional - if empty then default
user group will be used)
SYSLOG_IDENT
name of process to place in syslog messages (default is
mfschunkserver)
LOCK_MEMORY
whether to perform mlockall() to avoid swapping out
mfschunkserver process (default is 0, i.e. no)
NICE_LEVEL
nice level to run daemon with (default is -19 if
possible; note: process must be started as root to increase priority)
MASTER_HOST
address of LizardFS master host to connect with (default
is mfsmaster)
MASTER_PORT
number of LizardFS master port to connect with (default
is 9420)
MASTER_RECONNECTION_DELAY
delay in seconds before trying to reconnect to the master
server after disconnection (default is 5)
MASTER_TIMEOUT
timeout (in seconds) for the master server connection
(default is 60, minimum is 0.01)
BIND_HOST
local address to use for connecting with the master
server (default is *, i.e. default local address)
CSSERV_LISTEN_HOST
IP address to listen on for client (mount) connections
(* means any)
CSSERV_LISTEN_PORT
port to listen on for client (mount) connections (default
is 9422)
CSSERV_TIMEOUT
timeout (in seconds) for client (mount) connections
(default is 5)
HDD_CONF_FILENAME
alternative name of mfshdd.cfg file
HDD_LEAVE_SPACE_DEFAULT
free space threshold to set volume as 100% utilized when
there is less than given amount of free space left (default is
"4GiB"). This number is always added to the used disk space reported
by chunkserver.
HDD_TEST_FREQ
chunk test period in seconds (default is 10)
HDD_ADVISE_NO_CACHE
whether to remove each chunk from page when closing it to
reduce cache pressure generated by chunkserver (default is 0, i.e. no)
HDD_PUNCH_HOLES
if enabled then chunkserver detects zero values in chunk
data and frees corresponding file blocks (decreasing file system usage). This
option works only on Linux with file systems supporting punching holes (XFS,
ext4, Btrfs, tmpfs)
ENABLE_LOAD_FACTOR
if enabled, chunkserver will send periodical reports of
its I/O load to master, which will be taken into consideration when picking
chunkservers for I/O operations.
REPLICATION_BANDWIDTH_LIMIT_KBPS
limit how many kilobytes can be replicated from other
chunkservers to this chunkserver in every second (by default undefined, i.e.
no limits)
NR_OF_NETWORK_WORKERS
number of threads which handle (in a round-robin manner)
connections with clients (default is 1); these threads are responsible for
reading from sockets and coping data from internal buffers to sockets
NR_OF_HDD_WORKERS_PER_NETWORK_WORKER
number of threads that each network worker may use to do
disk operations like opening chunks, reading or writing them (default is
2)
READ_AHEAD_KB
additional number of kilobytes which should be passed to
posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) before reading data from a chunk (default
is 0, i.e. use posix_fadvise only with the amount of data that is really
needed; the value is aligned down to 64 KiB)
MAX_READ_BEHIND_KB
try to fix out-of-order read requests; the value tells
how much of skipped data to read if an offset of some read operation is
greater than the offset where the previos operation finished (default is 0,
i.e. don’t read any skipped data; the value is aligned down to 64
KiB)
CREATE_NEW_CHUNKS_IN_MOOSEFS_FORMAT
whether to create new chunks in the MooseFS format
(signature + <checksum>* + <data block>*) or in the newer
interleaved format ([<checksum> <data block>]*). (Default is 1,
i.e. new chunks are created in MooseFS format)
PERFORM_FSYNC
call fsync() after a chunk is modified (default is 1,
i.e. enabled)
REPLICATION_TOTAL_TIMEOUT_MS
total timeout for single replication operation.
Replications that take longer than that are considered failed and are
immediately aborted (default: 60000)
REPLICATION_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_MS
connection for single replication operation. If
connecting to another chunkserver takes longer than this timeout, the
operation is considered failed and is immediately aborted (default:
1000)
REPLICATION_WAVE_TIMEOUT_MS, ADVANCED
timeout for single wave in replication. After this
timeout, next wave of read requests is sent to other chunkservers (default:
500)
