DESCRIPTION

19       mfschunkserver is the data server of Lizard File System. Depending on
20       parameters it can start, restart or stop LizardFS chunkserver process.
21       Without any options it starts LizardFS chunkserver, killing previously
22       run process if lock file exists.
23
24       SIGHUP (or reload ACTION) forces mfschunkserver to reload all
25       configuration files.
26
27       Chunkserver periodically tests stored chunks (see HDD_TEST_FREQ option
28       in mfschunkserver.cfg manual).
29
30       LizardFS master doesn’t send metadata change logs to chunkserver and
31       expect at least one mfsmetalogger daemon to connect.
32
33       Chunkserver scans attached disks in background.
34

OPTIONS

36       -v
37           print version information and exit
38
39       -h

41
42       -f
43           (deprecated, use start action instead) forcily run LizardFS
44           chunkserver process, without trying to kill previous instance (this
45           option allows to run LizardFS chunkserver if stale PID file exists)
46
47       -s
48           (deprecated, use stop action instead) stop LizardFS chunkserver
49           process
50
51       -c CFGFILE
52           specify alternative path of configuration file (default is
53           mfschunkserver.cfg in system configuration directory)
54
55       -u
56           log undefined configuration values (when default is assumed)
57
58       -d
59           run in foreground, don’t daemonize
60
61       -t LOCKTIMEOUT
62           how long to wait for lockfile (default is 60 seconds)
63
64       ACTION is the one of start, stop, restart, reload, test, isalive or
65       kill. Default action is restart.

FILES

68       mfschunkserver.cfg
69           configuration file for LizardFS chunkserver process; refer to
70           mfschunkserver.cfg(5) manual for defails
71
72       mfshdd.cfg
73           list of directories (mountpoints) used for LizardFS storage (one
74           per line; directory prefixed by * character causes given directory
75           to be freed by replicating all data already stored there to another
76           locations)
77
78       mfschunkserver.lock
79           PID file of running LizardFS chunkserver process
80
81       .mfschunkserver.lock
82           lock file of running LizardFS chunkserver process (created in data
83           directory)
