NFS-Ganesha reads the configuration data from: | /etc/ganesha/ganesha.conf
This file lists NFS-Ganesha Cache config options.
MDCACHE{}NParts(uint32,range1to32633,default7)
Partitions in the MDCACHE tree.
Cache_Size(uint32,range1toUINT32_MAX,default32633)
Per-partition hash table size.
Use_Getattr_Directory_Invalidation(bool,defaultfalse)
Use getattr for directory invalidation.
Dir_Chunk(uint32,range0toUINT32_MAX,default128)
Size of per-directory dirent cache chunks, 0 means directory chunking is not enabled. Dir_Chunk
should always be enabled. Most FSAL modules especially FSAL_RGW/FSAL_GLUSTER need it to make
readdir work well.
Detached_Mult(uint32,range1toUINT32_MAX,default1)
Max number of detached directory entries expressed as a multiple of the chunk size.
Entries_HWMark(uint32,range1toUINT32_MAX,default100000)
The point at which object cache entries will start being reused.
Entries_Release_Size(uint32,range0toUINT32_MAX,default100)
The number of entries attempted to release each time when the handle cache has exceeded the
entries high water mark.
Chunks_HWMark(uint32,range1toUINT32_MAX,default1000)
The point at which dirent cache chunks will start being reused.
Chunks_LWMark(uint32,range1toUINT32_MAX,default1000)
The target for reaping dirent cache chunks to drain the cache.
Entries_HWMark, Dir_Chunk, Chunks_HWMark, Chunks_LWMark all play together. While a dirent chunk
is cached, the object cache entries that are part of that dirent chunk will be retained in the
cache indefinitely. Note that this means that possibly Chunks_LWMark * Dir_Chunk entries will be
retained. If this is larger than Entries_HWMark, then the object cache may end up remaining above
Entries_HWMark for a significant time. Consider the average size of the directories and the number
of directories desired to be maintained in the cache and set Chunks_LWMark appropriately.
Note that the Chunks_LWMark defaults to the same value as Chunks_HWMark and these are set to 1/100
of Entries_HWMark suggesting an average directory size of 100. It may be desirable to set
Chunks_LWMark less than Chunks_HWMark if it is desirable to allow large directory chunks to not
immediately be re-used, but it is desirable to in the short term drain the dirent cache down to a
smaller number.
LRU_Run_Interval(uint32,range1to24*3600,default90)
Base interval in seconds between runs of the LRU cleaner thread.
Cache_FDs(bool,defaulttrue)
If "Cache_FDs" is set to false, the reaper thread aggressively closes FDs , significantly reducing
the number of open FDs. This will help to maintain a minimal number of open FDs.
If "Cache_FDs" is set to true (default), FDs are cached, and the LRU reaper thread closes FDs only
when the current open FD count reaches or exceeds the "fds_lowat" threshold.
Note, this setting has no effect when Close_Fast is set to true.
Close_Fast(bool,defaultfalse)
Whether to close files immediately after opening files and using them for read/write/commit.
FD_Limit_Percent(uint32,range0to100,default99)
The percentage of the system-imposed maximum of file descriptors at which Ganesha will deny
requests.
FD_HWMark_Percent(uint32,range0to100,default90)
The percentage of the system-imposed maximum of file descriptors above which Ganesha will make
greater efforts at reaping.
FD_LWMark_Percent(uint32,range0to100,default50)
The percentage of the system-imposed maximum of file descriptors below which Ganesha will not reap
file descriptors.
Reaper_Work(uint32,range1to2000,default0)
Roughly, the amount of work to do on each pass through the thread under normal conditions.
(Ideally, a multiple of the number of lanes.) Thissettingisdeprecated.PleaseuseReaper_Work_Per_LaneReaper_Work_Per_Lane(uint32,range1toUINT32_MAX,default50)
This is the number of handles per lane to scan when performing LRU maintenance. This task is
performed by the Reaper thread.
Biggest_Window(uint32,range1to100,default40)
The largest window (as a percentage of the system-imposed limit on FDs) of work that we will do in
extremis.
Required_Progress(uint32,range1to50,default5)
Percentage of progress toward the high water mark required in in a pass through the thread when in
extremis
Futility_Count(uint32,range1to50,default8)
Number of failures to approach the high watermark before we disable caching, when in extremis.
Dirmap_HWMark(uint32,range1toUINT32_MAX,default10000)
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)
Files_Delegatable_Percent(int32,range10to90,default90)
Total number of files ganesha can delegate to clients as a percent of Entries_HWMark
Use_Cached_Owner_On_Owner_Override(bool,true)
This option allows mdcache_test_access to use the cached owner value for an object in case of
owner override, even if the cache entry is not up to date. This could potentially lead to the
wrong result, but can significantly improve performance saving the need to update attributes on
many read/write operations.
