       ganesha-cache-config - NFS Ganesha Cache Configuration File

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ganesha/ganesha.conf

DESCRIPTION

       NFS-Ganesha reads the configuration data from: | /etc/ganesha/ganesha.conf

       This  file lists NFS-Ganesha Cache config options.  These options used to be configured in the CACHEINODE
       block.  They may still be used in that block, but it is deprecated and will go away.  The  MDCACHE  block
       takes precidence over the CACHEINODE block.

   MDCACHE {}
       NParts (uint32, range 1 to 32633, default 7)
              Partitions in the Cache_Inode tree.

       Cache_Size(uint32, range 1 to UINT32_MAX, default 32633)
              Per-partition hash table size.

       Use_Getattr_Directory_Invalidation(bool, default false)
              Use getattr for directory invalidation.

       Dir_Chunk(uint32, range 0 to UINT32_MAX, default 128)
              Size of per-directory dirent cache chunks, 0 means directory chunking is not enabled.

       Detached_Mult(uint32, range 1 to UINT32_MAX, default 1)
              Max number of detached directory entries expressed as a multiple of the chunk size.

       Entries_HWMark(uint32, range 1 to UINT32_MAX, default 100000)
              The point at which object cache entries will start being reused.

       Chunks_HWMark(uint32, range 1 to UINT32_MAX, default 100000)
              The point at which dirent cache chunks will start being reused.

       LRU_Run_Interval(uint32, range 1 to 24 * 3600, default 90)
              Base interval in seconds between runs of the LRU cleaner thread.

       FD_Limit_Percent(uint32, range 0 to 100, default 99)
              The  percentage  of  the  system-imposed  maximum  of  file descriptors at which Ganesha will deny
              requests.

       FD_HWMark_Percent(uint32, range 0 to 100, default 90)
              The percentage of the system-imposed maximum of file descriptors above  which  Ganesha  will  make
              greater efforts at reaping.

       FD_LWMark_Percent(uint32, range 0 to 100, default 50)
              The percentage of the system-imposed maximum of file descriptors below which Ganesha will not reap
              file descriptors.

       Reaper_Work(uint32, range 1 to 2000, default 0)
              Roughly,  the  amount  of  work  to  do  on  each pass through the thread under normal conditions.
              (Ideally, a  multiple  of  the  number  of  lanes.)   This  setting  is  deprecated.   Please  use
              Reaper_Work_Per_Lane

       Reaper_Work_Per_Lane(uint32, range 1 to UINT32_MAX, default 50)
              This  is  the  numer  of  handles  per lane to scan when performing LRU maintenance.  This task is
              performed by the Reaper thread.

       Biggest_Window(uint32, range 1 to 100, default 40)
              The largest window (as a percentage of the system-imposed limit on FDs) of work that we will do in
              extremis.

       Required_Progress(uint32, range 1 to 50, default 5)
              Percentage of progress toward the high water mark required in in a pass through the thread when in
              extremis

       Futility_Count(uint32, range 1 to 50, default 8)
              Number of failures to approach the high watermark before we disable caching, when in extremis.

       Dirmap_HWMark(uint32, range 1 to UINT32_MAX, default 10000)
              The point at which dirmap entries are reused.  This puts  a  practical  limit  on  the  number  of
              simultaneous  readdirs  that  may be in progress on an export for a whence-is-name FSAL (currently
              only FSAL_RGW)
