NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     afsd.conf - configuration file for the arla AFS  implementation.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The  default configuration file works very well in most cases.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Most flags can be overridden by command  line  arguments  to
afsd.

     Each option can be of the type integer, string or boolean.

     Integer  values can be written with suffix `K' (kilo, 1000),
`M' (mega,
     10000000) and `G' (giga, 10000000000) .

     Strings are written without quotes or spaces in the strings.

     Boolean values can be either of yes, true, no, or false.

     Supported options:

     dynroot
             Boolean value. Dynamic root, generates your /afs directory from
             CellServDB or DynRootDB.  Useful when you don't want
to use your
             cell's root.afs.

     fake_stat
             Boolean  value.   If set, do not fetch real stat information where
             it can be expensive (i e  across  mountpoints),  but
make up some
             reasonable values.

     fetch_block
             Integer value.  Determines the fetch/pre-fetch block
size.  This
             option will later be replaced by code  to  automagically tune this
             setting.

     low_vnodes
             Integer  value.  The number of used vnodes we try to
keep in the
             cache. Any higher number of used nodes will  trigger
the cleaner
             thread.

     high_bytes
             Integer value.  The high watermark for files used by
arlad.

     low_bytes
             Integer value.  The number of bytes we try  to  keep
in the cache.
             Any  higher number of bytes will trigger the cleaner
thread.

     numcreds
             Integer value.  The maximum  number  of  credentials
kept in arla,
             both  authenticated  (like  Kerberos  V4 creds), and
not.

     numconns
             Integer value.  The maximum total number of  connections arla will
             keep to servers (fileserver and vldb-server).

     numvols
             Integer  value.   The  number  of  volumes stored in
cache.

     sysname
             String value.  The sysname is possible to specify in
the configuration
 file. It's overridden by the command line argument
             --sysname=sysname to arlad.

     rxkad-level
             It can be one of: clear, auth, or crypt.   It's  the
same as the
             command line argument.

     high_vnodes
             Integer  value.   The  upper limit of arlad's vnodes
(think files
             and directories).

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The parser that reads numbers doesn't support numbers larger
than 2G for
     most platforms when used on the abbreviated form (3G, 3000M,
etc).  Write
     out the whole number (3000000000) and make sure you  have  a
working
     strtoll().
