NAME
gfarm2.conf - Gfarm configuration file
DESCRIPTION
gfarm2.conf is a text file that contains a Gfarm configuration. Gfarm server processes
gfmd and gfsd refer to %%SYSCONFDIR%%/gfmd.conf and %%SYSCONFDIR%%/gfarm2.conf,
respectively, by default. Since this configuration file is only read at startup, it is
necessary to restart servers when the contents of the configuration file are updated.
Application programs, such as gfls and gfhost, refer to both %%SYSCONFDIR%%/gfarm2.conf,
and a file specified by an environment variable, GFARM_CONFIG_FILE. If both configuration
files exist, the file specified by the environment variable, GFARM_CONFIG_FILE, is read
first. Both files have the same grammar. If the environment variable GFARM_CONFIG_FILE
doesn't exist, ~/.gfarm2rc in a user's home directory is used instead.
Each line of gfarm2.conf consists of one statement. When the line ends with the character
``\'', the line continues for the next line. A word beginning with ``#'' causes that word
and all remaining characters on that line to be ignored.
HOST_SPECIFICATION
Host_specification has the following forms.
III.JJJ.KKK.LLL
Specifies an IP address with four octets from 0 to 255, separated by ".".
III.JJJ.KKK.LLL/MM
Specifies a network address with an IP address and a netmask from 0 to 31 separated by
"/".
domain.name
Specifies a host name.
.domain.name
Specifies all hosts which belong to the domain.name.
*
Specifies all hosts.
STATEMENT
The following statements are supported.
spool directory
The spool statement specifies a spool directory for a Gfarm filesystem on this
filesystem node.
For example,
spool /var/spool/gfarm
spool_server_listen_address IP-address
The spool_server_listen_address statement specifies the IP address at which the gfsd
accepts TCP and UDP requests. The default address is all IP addresses of the host.
This option is useful when one wants to invoke multiple gfsd to provide multiple spool
directories on the host.
For example,
spool_server_listen_address 192.168.121.1
spool_server_listen_backlog number
This statement specifies the second parameter of the listen(2) system call that gfsd
invokes. The default value is SOMAXCONN (typically 128, but depends on the OS) on OSes
which define this symbol in <sys/socket.h>, or 5 if it's undefined.
On an environment which has many gfarm clients, it's recommened to increase this value
after increasing system limit.
This parameter is only available in gfarm2.conf, and ignored in gfmd.conf.
For example,
spool_server_listen_backlog 128
spool_server_cred_type cred_type
This statement specifies the type of credential used by gfsd for GSI authentication.
This is ignored when you are using sharedsecret authentication.
If this statement isn't used on the server side, the server uses a host certificate,
if the server is invoked with root privileges. Or, if the server is invoked as a
non-privileged user, the server uses the user's certificate.
If this statement isn't used on the client side, the client assumes that the server
that the client is going to connect is using a host certificate of the server host.
Thus, if the server is not invoked with root privileges, but invoked with user
privileges where the user is the same as the user who invoked the client, the client
side needs to specify the following one line.
Example:
spool_server_cred_type self
The possible types of cred_type are ``self'', ``host'', ``user'' and
``mechanism-specific''. And those are used with the spool_server_cred_service and
spool_server_cred_name statements as follows:
self
This keyword specifies that the certificate that the user currently has is used.
You must not use either the spool_server_cred_service or spool_server_cred_name
statement, if you are using this type.
host
This keyword specifies that a host certificate or a service certificate is used.
To choose a service certificate, the name of the service may be specified by the
spool_server_cred_service statement. If ``host'' is specified as the service name,
a host certificate in the file ``/etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem'' will be used.
If any server name other than ``host'' is specified, a service certificate in the
file ``/etc/grid-security/SERVICE/SERVICEcert.pem'' will be used. If the service
name is omitted, ``host'' will be used as the service name by default. Only the
Common Name field of a certificate will be used to check the server's identity for
both a host certificate and a service certificate. And the Common Name field must
be in the ``CN=SERVERNAME/HOSTNAME'' format. Also, the hostname must match the
canonical name configured by the gfhost command exactly. Alias hostnames are not
allowed.
This feature corresponds to the GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE feature in GSSAPI
(RFC2743/RFC2744).
Example:
spool_server_cred_type host
spool_server_cred_service host
user
This keyword specifies that a user certificate is used. The account name of the
user may be specified by the spool_server_cred_name statement. If the account name
is omitted, the user who invoked the command will be used by default. You must not
specify a service name using the spool_server_cred_service statement, if you are
using a user certificate.
To map from the account name to a Distinguished Name of a certificate, file
``/etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile'' is used. Thus, if there isn't such a file, or
if the user isn't specified in this file, this feature cannot be used.
This feature corresponds to the GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME feature in GSSAPI
(RFC2743/RFC2744).
Example:
spool_server_cred_type user
spool_server_cred_name guest
mechanism-specific
This keyword specifies that spool_server_cred_name is treated as a raw X.509
Distinguished Name serving as a server's certificate. You must not specify a
service name using a spool_server_cred_service statement, if you are using this
type.
This feature corresponds to a case where GSS_C_NO_OID is specified as a Name Type
in GSSAPI (RFC2743/RFC2744).
Example:
spool_server_cred_type mechanism-specific
spool_server_cred_name "/O=Grid/O=Globus/OU=example.com/CN=John Smith"
spool_server_cred_service cred_service
This statement specifies the service name of a service certificate used by gfsd for
GSI authentication, when ``host'' is specified in spool_server_cred_type statement.
This is ignored when you are using sharedsecret authentication. Please read the
description of the spool_server_cred_type statement for details.
spool_server_cred_name cred_name
This statement specifies the setting of a certificate used by gfsd for GSI
authentication. What this setting means depends on the type specified in the
spool_server_cred_type statement. This is ignored when you are using sharedsecret
authentication. Please read the description of the spool_server_cred_type statement
for details.
spool_server_back_channel_rcvbuf_limit size
This directive specifies the upper limit of SO_RCVBUF for the back channel socket of
gfsd. By decreasing this value, the number of outstanding requests from gfmd to gfsd
can be limited. The default value of this limit depends on the OS.
This parameter is only available in gfarm2.conf which is referred by gfsd, and ignored
clients, and ignored in gfmd.conf.
For example,
spool_server_back_channel_rcvbuf_limit 16384
spool_check_level level
This statement enables the consistency check of files stored in the spool directory at
start-up of gfsd. The level name corresponds how many -c command-line options are
specified to gfsd, i.e. the level "display" means the -c option, "delete" means the
-cc option, and "lost_found" means the -ccc option, which is the default. For detail
about the -c option, refer to the manual page of gfsd(8). The level "disable" disables
the consistency check.
For example,
spool_check_level disable
spool_base_load load-average
This statement specifies the CPU load adding to the real CPU load. This option is only
available for a gfsd node (or a file system node). The default base load is 0.0. This
option can be used to pretend to be busy or idle to change the scheduling priority.
For example,
spool_base_load 1.0
spool_digest_error_check validity
When digest calculation is enabled by the digest directive, the digest is calculated
when reading a whole replica. If the digest is incorrect, i.e. the replica is damaged,
the damaged replica is moved to lost+found directory to automatically fix this
problem. This statement is used to disable this feature. When it is disabled, the
damaged raplica remains in the spool directory.
This option is only available for a gfsd node (or a file system node). The default is
enable.
For example,
spool_digest_error_check disable
metadb_server_host hostname
The metadb_server_host statement specifies the host name on which gfmd is running.
This statement cannot be omitted.
For example,
metadb_server_host ldap.example.com
metadb_server_port port
The metadb_server_port statement specifies the tcp port number the gfmd is listening
on. The default port number is 601.
For example,
metadb_server_port 601
metadb_server_cred_type cred_type
This statement specifies the type of credential used by gfmd for GSI authentication.
This is ignored when you are using sharedsecret authentication. Please read the
description of the spool_server_cred_type statement on the configuration of this
statement.
metadb_server_cred_service cred_service
This statement specifies the service name of a service certificate used by gfmd for
GSI authentication, when ``host'' is specified in metadb_server_cred_type statement.
This is ignored when you are using sharedsecret authentication. Please read the
description of the spool_server_cred_type statement on the configuration of this
statement.
metadb_server_cred_name cred_name
This statement specifies the setting of a certificate used by gfmd for GSI
authentication. What this setting means depends on the type specified in the
metadb_server_cred_type statement. This is ignored when you are using sharedsecret
authentication. Please read the description of the spool_server_cred_type statement on
the configuration of this statement.
metadb_server_listen_backlog number
This statement specifies the second parameter of the listen(2) system call that gfmd
invokes. The default value is SOMAXCONN (typically 128, but depends on the OS) on OSes
which define this symbol in <sys/socket.h>, or 5 if it's undefined.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf, and ignored in gfarm2.conf.
For example,
metadb_server_listen_backlog 128
metadb_server_max_descriptors number
This directive specifies the number of file descriptor limit for the gfmd metadata
server process. If not specified, the default limit is min(OS's hard limit, 131072).
You may have to increase this value on a larger configuration, or decrease on a
smaller configuration. See Gfarm FAQ to see how to calculate this value.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf, and ignored in gfarm2.conf.
For example,
metadb_server_max_descriptors 262144
metadb_server_stack_size bytes
This directive specifies the size of each thread in the gfmd metadata server process.
If not specified, the default size of the OS is used. This parameter is used to cut
down the size of virtual memory space used by gfmd.
For example, the default stack size on CentOS 5/i386 is 10MB, thus, you can decrease
the size of the virtual memory space of gfmd to 1/40, by specifying 256KB as this
parameter.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf, and ignored in gfarm2.conf.
For example,
metadb_server_stack_size 262144
metadb_server_thread_pool_size size
This directive specifies the maximum number of threads in a thread pool in the gfmd.
It is effective to specify around the number of CPU cores of the metadata server node.
Default is 16.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf, and ignored in gfarm2.conf.
For example,
metadb_server_thread_pool_size 16
metadb_server_job_queue_length length
This directive specifies the length of job queue in the gfmd. It is effective to
specify around the maximum number of clients that access the Gfarm file system at the
same time. Default is 16000.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf, and ignored in gfarm2.conf.
For example,
metadb_server_job_queue_length 160
metadb_server_heartbeat_interval seconds
This directive specifies the interval of heartbeat in seconds for gfmd to check
availability of each gfsd. Default is 180 seconds.
Until gfarm-2.3.0, this parameter was only available in gfmd.conf, and ignored in
gfarm2.conf. But since gfarm-2.4.0, gfsd also uses this parameter to detect whether
gfmd is down or not, this parameter has to be specified in both gfarm2.conf and
gfmd.conf.
For example,
metadb_server_heartbeat_interval 180
metadb_server_dbq_size size
This directive specifies the queue length of metadata updates for a backend database
in gfmd. Longer queue length may avoid slow down due to waiting backend database
updates in case of frequent metadata operations. Default is 65536.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf, and ignored in gfarm2.conf.
For example,
metadb_server_dbq_size 65536
metadb_server_back_channel_sndbuf_limit size
This directive specifies the upper limit of SO_SNDBUF for the socket that the metadata
server connects to the gfsd back channel. By decreasing this value, the number of
outstanding requests from gfmd to gfsd can be limited. The default value of this limit
depends on the OS.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf, and ignored in gfarm2.conf.
For example,
metadb_server_back_channel_sndbuf_limit 16384
ldap_server_host hostname
The ldap_server_host statement specifies the host name on which an LDAP server is
running. This statement is required when the LDAP server is used for a backend
database of gfmd. This statement is used in gfmd.conf not gfarm2.conf.
For example,
ldap_server_host ldap.example.com
ldap_server_port port
The ldap_server_port statement specifies the tcp port number of the LDAP server.
This statement cannot be omitted if ldap_server_host is specified.
For example,
ldap_server_port 602
ldap_base_dn LDAP_base_distinguished_name
The ldap_base_dn statement specifies the base-distinguished name of the LDAP database.
This statement cannot be omitted if ldap_server_host is specified.
For example,
ldap_base_dn "dc=example, dc=com"
ldap_bind_dn LDAP_bind_distinguished_name
The ldap_bind_dn statement specifies the distinguished name for the bind operation
which is used for authentication to the LDAP database.
For example,
ldap_bind_dn "cn=gfarmuser, dc=example, dc=com"
ldap_bind_password password
The ldap_bind_password statement specifies the password for the bind operation which
is used for authentication to the LDAP database.
For example,
ldap_bind_password "secret-ldap-password"
postgresql_server_host hostname
The postgresql_server_host statement specifies the host name on which a PostgreSQL
server is running. This statement is required when the PostgreSQL server is used for a
backend database of gfmd. This statement is used in gfmd.conf not gfarm2.conf.
For example,
postgresql_server_host postgresql.example.com
postgresql_server_port port
The postgresql_server_port statement specifies the tcp port number of the PostgreSQL
server.
This statement cannot be omitted if postgresql_server_host is specified.
For example,
postgresql_server_port 602
postgresql_dbname dbname
The postgresql_dbname statement specifies the database name of the PostgreSQL
database.
This statement cannot be omitted if postgresql_server_host is specified.
For example,
postgresql_dbname gfarm
postgresql_user user
The postgresql_user statement specifies the username used to connect the PostgreSQL
database.
For example,
postgresql_user gfarm
postgresql_password password
The postgresql_password statement specifies the password used to connect the
PostgreSQL database.
For example,
postgresql_password gfarm
postgresql_conninfo connection_info
The postgresql_conninfo statement specifies the connection option used to connect the
PostgreSQL database.
For example,
postgresql_conninfo "sslmode=require connect_timeout=30"
auth validity method Host_specification
This statement specifies the authentication method when communicating with the host(s)
specified by the third argument.
The first argument should be either the enable or disable keyword. The second
argument, auth method, should be the gsi, gsi_auth, or sharedsecret keyword. The third
argument specifies the host(s) by using Host specification.
The auth statement may be specified any number of times. For each authentication
method, it becomes a candidate when the first entry whose host_specification matches
the target host has the enable keyword. When there is no corresponding entry, or when
the first corresponding entry has the disable keyword, the authentication method does
not become a candidate.
This process takes place on both client and server sides. Candidates for
authentication method on both sides will be tried.
The order of statements with different authentication methods is not relevant. When
there are several candidates for the authentication method for the host, the order of
the authentication trial is sharedsecret, gsi_auth, and then gsi.
The GSI methods are available if and only if the --with-globus option is specified at
configuration. When the methods are not available, an auth statement with gsi or
gsi_auth will be ignored.
This statement cannot be omitted.
For example,
auth disable sharedsecret 192.168.0.100
auth disable sharedsecret 192.168.0.101
auth enable sharedsecret 192.168.0.0/24
auth enable gsi_auth 10.0.0.0/8
auth enable gsi *
In this example, all hosts which belong to the network address 192.168.0.0/24, except
for two hosts, 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.101, will be tested for authenticated by
both sharedsecret and gsi; all hosts which belong to the network address 10.0.0.0/8
will be tested for authentication by both gsi_auth and gsi; and all other hosts will
be authenticated by gsi. Note that two hosts, 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.101, will be
tested for authentication by gsi only.
shared_key_file pathname
The shared_key_file statement specifies a pathname of the shared secret key file in
sharedsecret authentication.
digest digest_type
The digest statement enables the checksum calculation, and specifies the digest type
of the checksum. The digest_type parameter is a lower-case name which is supported by
the OpenSSL library on the filesystem nodes. For example, "md5", "sha256". Or, if
client_digest_check is enabled, the digest_type has to be supported on clients as
well.
This directive is only available in gfmd.conf, and ignored in gfarm2.conf.
NOTE: Even if checksum calculation is enabled by this directive, the digest checksum
is not calculated when a client accesses a file replica which is managed by a local
gfsd. This is because only gfsd calculates the checksum by default, but the client
directly reads/writes the file replica in the local access case. To calculate the
checksum of local files, You have to either disable the direct access feature by the
direct_local_access statement, or enable the client-side checksum calculation feature
by the client_digest_check statement.
For example,
digest md5
sockopt option[=value] [LISTENER | Host_specification]
The sockopt parameter specifies the socket option option via the setsockopt(2) system
call.
When LISTENER (all capital letters) is specified by the second argument, the socket
option is applied to any socket on the server side (accepting side).
When the host_specification is specified by the second argument, the socket option is
applied to sockets that connect to the specified host(s). If the second argument is
"*", the socket option is applied to any hosts on the client side (connecting side).
If the second argument is omitted, the socket option is applied to every socket.
The following socket options can be specified.
debug. The SO_DEBUG socket option is specified. A value is not necessary.
keepalive. The SO_KEEPALIVE socket option is specified. A value is not necessary.
sndbuf. The SO_SNDBUF socket option is specified with a value.
rcvbuf. The SO_RCVBUF socket option is specified with a value.
tcp_nodelay. The TCP_NODELAY socket option is specified. A value is not necessary.
For example,
sockopt tcp_nodelay 192.168.0.0/24
sockopt sndbuf=1048576 10.0.0.0/8
sockopt sndbuf=1048576 LISTENER
sockopt rcvbuf=1048576 10.0.0.0/8
sockopt rcvbuf=1048576 LISTENER
known_network Host_specification
The known_network statement specifies a network address for file system nodes. It is
used to group file system nodes at file systen node scheduling. File system nodes that
are not specified in this directive are assumed to be in an IPv4 class C network.
Multiple networks can be specified as follows.
known_network 192.168.0.0/25
known_network 192.168.0.128/25
network_receive_timeout seconds
The network_receive_timeout directive specifies the time, in seconds, to wait for data
reception via network. The default value is 60 seconds. This directive is effective in
both gfarm2.conf and gfmd.conf.
When a Gfarm application program receives no data from a gfsd filesystem server during
the timeout period, it aborts the communication with the server, and then it tries to
communicate with another server to continue the operation.
When a gfmd metadata server receives no data from a gfsd filesystem server during the
timeout period, it aborts the communication with the gfsd server and gfmd considers
the gfsd server is down.
admin_user user
This directive specifies an administrator user name, which is specified in gfmd.conf.
admin_user_gsi_dn user_gsi_dn
This directive specifies a subject DN of an administrator, which is specified in
gfmd.conf.
local_user_map user-map-file [hostname:[port]]
This directive specifies a file name user-map-file for mapping local user names to
global user names. This map file is used only for sharedsecret authentication. When
this file is not specified, a global user name is assumed to be same as the local user
name.
user-map-file is needed when you have to use the sharedsecret authentication method in
the case where you have different unix account names on different filesystem nodes. In
such a case, the user-map-file on each filesystem node should have an entry from each
local user name to a unique global user name.
Example:
local_user_map /etc/gfarm/gfarm-usermap
Each line of the user-map-file consists of two fields separated by spaces; the first
field is a global user name, and the second field is a local user name.
Example of the user mapping file:
foobar foo
quux baz
According to the first line of this mapping file, a global user name, "foobar", is
mapped to a local user name, "foo", on this node.
When hostname/port of the meta data server is specified, user mapping files different
in each server are applied. When the port is omitted, default port (601) is used.
local_user_map can be specified two or more times. When the same definitions of local
user name exist, the first definition is selected.
Example of multiple user mapping file:
local_user_map /etc/gfarm/gfarm-usermap1-1
local_user_map /etc/gfarm/gfarm-usermap1-2
local_user_map /etc/gfarm/gfarm-usermap2-1 server2
local_user_map /etc/gfarm/gfarm-usermap2-2 server2
In this example, when connecting to server2, it applies in order of gfarm-usermap2-1
and gfarm-usermap2-2. When connecting to excluding server2, it applies in order of
gfarm-usermap1-1 and gfarm-usermap1-2.
local_group_map group-map-file [hostname:[port]]
This directive specifies a file name group-map-file for mapping global group names to
local group names. This map file is used by legacy clients that use local group id
such as gfarm2fs and gfarm dsi for Globus GridFTP to display mapped local groups. When
this file is not specified, a local group name is assumed to be same as the global
group name.
Example:
local_group_map /etc/gfarm/gfarm-groupmap
Each line of the group-map-file consists of two fields separated by spaces; the first
field is a global group name, and the second field is a local group name.
When hostname/port of the meta data server is specified, group mapping files different
in each server are applied. The specification method is similar to local_user_map.
schedule_cache_timeout seconds
This directive specifies the time (in seconds) until the cache used for filesystem
node scheduling expires. The cache holds information on each filesystem node, e.g.
load average, disk free space, and whether authentication succeeds or not. The default
time is 600 seconds, i.e. ten minutes.
For example,
schedule_cache_timeout 60
schedule_concurrency number
This directive specifies the number how many filesystem nodes will be searched
concurrently at filesystem scheduling. If this parameter is increased, the scheduling
will finish quicker, but the load to filesystem nodes will increase. The default
number is 10 nodes.
For example,
schedule_concurrency 10
schedule_concurrency_per_net number
This directive specifies the number how many filesystem nodes will be used in same
network at measuring network latency for each network of filesystem nodes. It may be
better to increase this parameter, if many filesystem nodes are stopping, or many
filesystem nodes are under higher load. If this parameter is increased, it's
recommened to increase schedule_concurrency parameter too. The default number is 3.
For example,
schedule_concurrency_per_net 3
schedule_idle_load_thresh load-average
This directive specifies the threshold of CPU load average to be considered idle. The
file system nodes whose CPU load average is equal to or below the specified CPU load
average are to be scheduled at first. The default load average is 0.1.
For example,
schedule_idle_load_thresh 0.1
schedule_busy_load_thresh load-average
This directive specifies the threshold of CPU load average to be considered busy. The
file system nodes whose CPU load average is above the specified CPU load average are
to be scheduled lastly. The default load average is 0.5.
For example,
schedule_busy_load_thresh 0.5
schedule_virtual_load load-average
This directive specifies the virtual CPU load average. The virtual CPU load is added
when the host is scheduled to avoid scheduling the same host multiple times. The
default load average is 0.3.
For example,
schedule_virtual_load 0.3
schedule_candidates_ratio ratio
This parameter specifies the threshold ratio of number of filesystem nodes from number
of scheduling nodes, to decide to discontinue to search more filesystem nodes which
load averages are less or equal to the schedule_busy_load_thresh parameter. If this
parameter is increased, the accuracy of scheduling will be increased, but scheduling
process will become slower. The default ratio is 4.0.
For example,
schedule_candidates_ratio 4.0
schedule_rtt_thresh_diff microseconds
This parameter specifies the threshold time of network latency which divides the
domains of scheduling priority. If a network latency difference from nearer network is
larger than this value, the network's scheduling priority is lowered. There is a
similar parameter schedule_rtt_thresh_ratio, and the scheduling priority is lowered if
the network latency exceeds one of the parameters. The default is 1000 microseconds.
i.e. 1 millisecond.
For example,
schedule_rtt_thresh_diff 1000
schedule_rtt_thresh_ratio ratio
This parameter specifies the threshold ratio of network latency which divides the
domains of scheduling priority. If a network latency is larger than this ratio from
nearer network, the network's scheduling priority is lowered. There is a similar
parameter schedule_rtt_thresh_diff, and the scheduling priority is lowered if the
network latency exceeds one of the parameters. The default ratio is 4.0.
For example,
schedule_rtt_thresh_ratio 4.0
schedule_rtt_thresh ratio
This directive is just an alias of the schedule_rtt_thresh_ratio directive since
gfarm-2.5.8. Please use that directive instead. This directive remains for
compatibility with older versions. The default ratio is 4.0.
For example,
schedule_rtt_thresh 4.0
write_local_priority validity
Gfarm nearly always chooses localhost, when it selects a filesystem node to write a
file. By specifyng the disable keyword in this directive, Gfarm handles localhost the
same as other filesystem nodes. The default is enable.
For example,
write_local_priority disable
write_target_domain domain
Gfarm tries to choose a filesystem node in the domain specified by this directive,
when it selects a node to write a file. If there is no suitable node for writing in
this domain, or if this directive is not specified, the filesystem node will be chosen
from among all nodes. Note that if you specify this directive more than once, only
the first one will be used and the others are ignored.
For example,
write_target_domain example.org
minimum_free_disk_space bytes
This directive specifies free disk space (in bytes) which is required on filesystem
nodes. The Gfarm scheduler excludes filesystem nodes which have less free space than
this parameter, when it schedules nodes for jobs which may write files. The free space
value may have a suffix like ``k'' (kilo bytes), ``M'' (mega bytes), ``G'' (giga
bytes) and ``T'' (tera bytes). The default size is 512M bytes.
This directive has to be specified in both gfarm2.conf and gfmd.conf. After restarting
the gfmd and the Gfarm client, it is effective.
For example,
minimum_free_disk_space 1G
direct_local_access validity
When a Gfarm client accesses a file replica which is stored by the local gfsd, the
client bypasses the gfsd and directly accesses the file replica for reading/writing
the file contents to reduce the overhead. This directive is used to disable this
feature. It is useful to make the local gfsd calculate the checksum of the local file
replica. Please see the digest directive for detail.
The default is enable.

command specified in this directive is executed. For example,
debug_command env DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm -e gdb %e %p
"%e" and "%p" are expanded to an actual program name and a process ID, respectively.
If you'd like to use "%" character itself in the command line, type "%%".
This directive is available in both gfarm2.conf and gfmd.conf. If this directive is
omitted, no debug command is executed.
no_file_system_node_timeout seconds
If there is no file system node available, Gfarm client library periodically tries to
find a file system node. This directive specifies the timeout to try in seconds. The
default is 30 seconds.
For example,
no_file_system_node_timeout 30
gfmd_authentication_timeout seconds
After the connection to the metadata server is established, Gfarm client library
starts an authentication procedure, but gives up the procedure, if this timeout period
is passed without any response from the metadata server. This unit of this directive
is second, and the default value is 10.
For example,
gfmd_authentication_timeout 20
gfmd_reconnection_timeout seconds

specified, atime is only updated if the previous atime is earlier than the current
mtime (modify time) or ctime (change time), or if the previous atime is more than 1
day old. When "strict" is specified, atime is always updated. The default setting is
"relative".
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
For example,
atime disable
client_digest_check validity
When "enable" is specified, the Gfarm client library (libgfarm) calculates checksum
while accessing a whole file sequentially, and verify the result against a value which
is set in the metadata of the file. Also, libgfarm sets the calculated checksum to the
metadata, if checksum isn't set in the metadata, and the file is opened for writing.
The default value is disable.
This directive is only available for clients in gfarm2.conf. Both gfsd and gfmd ignore
this setting in gfarm2.conf and gfmd.conf.
For example,
client_digest_check enable
client_file_bufsize bytes
This directive specifies the file buffer size in bytes used in the Gfarm client
library (libgfarm). The default size is 1048568 bytes (= 1MiB - 8B). The file buffer
size should be less than the default value not for deterioration of remote access
performance for version 2.5.0 or earlier.
This directive is only available for clients in gfarm2.conf. Both gfsd and gfmd ignore
this setting in gfarm2.conf and gfmd.conf.
For example,
client_file_bufsize 65536
client_parallel_copy num-of-parallel
This directive specifies the number of parallel for gfprep and gfpcopy to work in
parallel. When this number is not specified, the default number of parallel is 4.
For example,
client_palallel_copy 10
client_parallel_max num-of-parallel

in parallel. When this number is not specified, the default maximum number of parallel
is 16.
For example,
client_palallel_max 8
profile validity
When "enable" is specified, Gfarm outputs the profile information.
Example:
profile enable
metadb_server_list gfmd-hostname[:port] ...
This parameter specifies connection destinations of redundant metadata servers
delimited by space. If port is not specified, port will be 601 which is the default
value.
This parameter is only available in gfarm2.conf, and ignored in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_server_list mds1 mds2:701
metadb_replication validity
When "enable" is specified, the redundant metadata feature is enabled. The default
value is disable.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_replication enable
synchronous_replication_timeout seconds
This parameter specifies timeout for executing synchronous replication in seconds. If
the timeout period passed, the connection to the slave gfmd where replicates to will
disconnect. The replication process in the master gfmd for the disconnected slave gfmd
stops until the slave gfmd connects. The default is 10.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
synchronous_replication_timeout 30
synchronous_journaling validity
When "enable" is specified, fdatasync is called after update information is saved to
the journal file. The timing of calling fdatasync is after writing the records from
transaction-begin to transaction-end in one transaction. The default is "enable".
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
synchronous_journaling disable
metadb_server_force_slave validity
When "enable" is specified, even if the gfmd is set to default master, it run as slave
gfmd forcedly. The default is "disable".
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_server_force_slave enable
metadb_server_slave_max_size number
This parameter specifies the maximum number of slave gfmds. The default is "32".
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_server_slave_max_size 40
metadb_server_slave_replication_timeout seconds
This parameter specifies timeout in seconds to wait for completion of metadata
replication at gfmd shutdown caused by a SIGTERM signal. If the timeout period passed,
master gfmd gives up metadata replication to slave gfmd. The default is 120 seconds.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_server_slave_replication_timeout 180
metadb_journal_dir directory
This parameter specifies the directory for the journal file. The value of this
parameter is specified at config-gfarm execution . When this parameter is not
specified, the gfmd does not start.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_journal_dir /var/gfarm-metadata/journal
metadb_journal_max_size file_size
This parameter specifies the max size of the journal file in bytes. Beware that the
larger the size is, the longer it takes time for the gfmd to complete starting. The
default is 33554432 (32 MBytes).
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_journal_max_size 8388608
metadb_journal_recvq_size size
This parameter specifies the maximum number of on-memory records of the journal data
that the slave gfmd receives from the master gfmd. If it reaches this value, the slave
gfmd gives up and exits, because the gfmd thinks that it's too slow to apply the
journal data to the backend database. The default value is 100000.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_journal_recvq_size 100000
metadb_replica_remover_by_host_sleep_time nanoseconds
This statement specifies the sleep time of replica remover, which is invoked by a
removal of a filesystem node, in nanoseconds when gfmd is busy. If this value is
increased, the processing runs more slowly. The default value is 20000000 nanoseconds
(20 milliseconds). The maximum value is 1000000000 nanoseconds (1 second).
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_replica_remover_by_host_sleep_time 20000000
metadb_replica_remover_by_host_inode_step number
This statement specifies the number of i-node that replica remover, which is invoked
by a removal of a filesystem node, processes in each step. If this value is decreased,
the remover runs more slowly. The default value is 1024.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
metadb_replica_remover_by_host_inode_step 1024
replica_check validity
When "enable" is specified, the replica_check system in gfmd can check and fix the
number and placement of file replicas automatically. The replica_check works only when
necessary. The default value is "enable". This behavior can be chagned by the
gfrepcheck command in online.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
replica_check disable
replica_check_remove validity
When "enable" is specified, the replica_check system in gfmd can remove excessive file
rpelicas automatically. As an exception, when a file has hard-links (nlink >= 2) and
replication attributes (gfarm.ncopy or gfarm.replicainfo) in the file itself is not
set, the excessive file replicas does not remove automatically. The default value is
"enable". This behavior can be chagned by the gfrepcheck remove command in online.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
replica_check_remove disable
replica_check_reduced_log validity
When "enable" is specified, log messages from the replica_check may be reduced. The
default value is "enable". This behavior can be chagned by the gfrepcheck reduced_log
command in online.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
replica_check_reduced_log disable
replica_check_host_down_thresh seconds
This statement specifies an interval to start replica check after a gfsd is down. The
default value is 10800 seconds (3 hours).
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
replica_check_host_down_thresh 3600
replica_check_sleep_time nanoseconds
This statement specifies the sleep time in nanoseconds during the replica check when
gfmd is busy. The default value is 100000 nanoseconds (0.1 millisecond). The maximum
value is 1000000000 nanoseconds (1 second).
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
replica_check_sleep_time 0
replica_check_minimum_interval seconds
This statement specifies the minimum interval in seconds, to start the next replica
check. The default value is 10 seconds.
This parameter is only available in gfmd.conf.
Example:
