PVFS2-SET-EVENTMASK(1)

💖 PVFS2-SET-EVENTMASK 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the pvfs2-set-eventmask manual page, from the General Commands Manual, and no it is NOT boring, it's literally about controlling what your server gossips about in its logs. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

pvfs2-set-eventmask – enable and disable debug strings to log

so like. turning log categories on and off. that's the whole vibe. periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pvfs2-set-eventmask [-m mount_point] [-e events]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🫖 — the server has so many log strings, and they're all categorized. this utility is the one that decides which categories actually get logged on the server. the output? it goes straight into the configured server log file. that's it, that's the job. 🌸

the options are as follows:

• -h — display the synopsis. and bestie, this one is iconic because it also includes a list of all possible mask strings — like the full menu, everything on it. 👑
• -v — print the version number and dip. that's it, that's all it does. 💀
• -m — specify the file system to operate on. which one are we messing with today? 👀
• -s — specify the address of the server. this option is the one you use when you wanna change the mask on only one particular server instead of the whole entire cluster. main character energy, but for a single machine. ⭐

---

✨ ENVIRONMENT ✨

these are the environment variables, and they will affect your life:

• PVFS2_DEBUGFILE — if you set this to the path of a local file, debug output gets redirected to it. bye bye default location, hello your own file. 🎀
• PVFS2_DEBUGMASK — sets the OrangeFS debug mask. the possible masks are documented over in pvfs2-set-debugmask(1), so go peek there, iykyk. 🔥
• PVFS2TAB_FILE — if set, this is the full pathname for an alternate pvfs2tab file. 🦋

---

✨ FILES ✨

• /etc/pvfs2tab

---

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

wanna log IO errors? say less:

pvfs2-set-debugmask -m /mnt io

ate. no crumbs. 💅
