41
42       NICE_LEVEL
43           nice level to run daemon with (default is -19 if possible; note:
44           process must be started as root to increase priority)
45
46       MASTER_HOST
47           address of LizardFS master host to connect with (default is
48           mfsmaster)
49
50       MASTER_PORT
51           number of LizardFS master port to connect with (default is 9420)
52
53       MASTER_RECONNECTION_DELAY
54           delay in seconds before trying to reconnect to the master server
55           after disconnection (default is 5)
56
57       MASTER_TIMEOUT
58           timeout (in seconds) for the master server connection (default is
59           60, minimum is 0.01)
60
61       BIND_HOST
62           local address to use for connecting with the master server (default
63           is *, i.e. default local address)
64

77
78       HDD_LEAVE_SPACE_DEFAULT
79           free space threshold to set volume as 100% utilized when there is
80           less than given amount of free space left (default is "4GiB"). This
81           number is always added to the used disk space reported by
82           chunkserver.
83
84       HDD_TEST_FREQ
85           chunk test period in seconds (default is 10)
86
87       HDD_ADVISE_NO_CACHE
88           whether to remove each chunk from page when closing it to reduce
89           cache pressure generated by chunkserver (default is 0, i.e. no)
90
91       HDD_PUNCH_HOLES
92           if enabled then chunkserver detects zero values in chunk data and
93           frees corresponding file blocks (decreasing file system usage).
94           This option works only on Linux with file systems supporting
95           punching holes (XFS, ext4, Btrfs, tmpfs)
96
97       ENABLE_LOAD_FACTOR
98           if enabled, chunkserver will send periodical reports of its I/O
99           load to master, which will be taken into consideration when picking
100           chunkservers for I/O operations.
101
102       REPLICATION_BANDWIDTH_LIMIT_KBPS
103           limit how many kilobytes can be replicated from other chunkservers
104           to this chunkserver in every second (by default undefined, i.e. no
105           limits)
106
107       NR_OF_NETWORK_WORKERS
108           number of threads which handle (in a round-robin manner)
109           connections with clients (default is 1); these threads are
110           responsible for reading from sockets and coping data from internal
111           buffers to sockets
112
113       NR_OF_HDD_WORKERS_PER_NETWORK_WORKER
114           number of threads that each network worker may use to do disk
115           operations like opening chunks, reading or writing them (default is
116           2)
117
118       READ_AHEAD_KB
119           additional number of kilobytes which should be passed to
120           posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) before reading data from a chunk
121           (default is 0, i.e. use posix_fadvise only with the amount of data
122           that is really needed; the value is aligned down to 64 KiB)
123
124       MAX_READ_BEHIND_KB
125           try to fix out-of-order read requests; the value tells how much of
126           skipped data to read if an offset of some read operation is greater
127           than the offset where the previos operation finished (default is 0,
128           i.e. don’t read any skipped data; the value is aligned down to 64
129           KiB)
130
131       CREATE_NEW_CHUNKS_IN_MOOSEFS_FORMAT
132           whether to create new chunks in the MooseFS format (signature +
133           <checksum>* + <data block>*) or in the newer interleaved format
134           ([<checksum> <data block>]*). (Default is 1, i.e. new chunks are
135           created in MooseFS format)
136
137       PERFORM_FSYNC
138           call fsync() after a chunk is modified (default is 1, i.e. enabled)
139
140       REPLICATION_TOTAL_TIMEOUT_MS
141           total timeout for single replication operation. Replications that
142           take longer than that are considered failed and are immediately
143           aborted (default: 60000)
144
145       REPLICATION_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_MS
146           connection for single replication operation. If connecting to
147           another chunkserver takes longer than this timeout, the operation
148           is considered failed and is immediately aborted (default: 1000)
149
150       REPLICATION_WAVE_TIMEOUT_MS, ADVANCED
151           timeout for single wave in replication. After this timeout, next
152           wave of read requests is sent to other chunkservers (default: 500)
