PVFS2-SET-SYNC(1)

✨ PVFS2-SET-SYNC ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the pvfs2-set-sync</pfs2-set-sync> manual page, from the General Commands Manual section 💅 this little icon does one job and it does it well: it sets the server's synchronization parameters. set server synchronization parameters, that's the whole gig 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pvfs2-set-sync -m mount_point [-D data] [-M metadata]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the pvfs2-set-sync utility is your girl for deciding whether data or metadata gets implicitly synchronized to permanent storage, like, over on the server side. that's it, that's the vibe 🦋

the options are as follows, no cap:

• -m — specify the file system you wanna operate on. the whole point, honestly 💅
• -D — specify whether file data is implicitly synchronized. a setting of 0 means off, and 1 means on. simple as 🍓
• -M — specify whether metadata is implicitly synchronized. a setting of 0 means off, and 1 means on. same energy fr fr ✨

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• PVFS2_DEBUGFILE — if you set this to the path of a local file, the debug output gets redirected there instead. slay, keep your terminal clean 🧚
• PVFS2_DEBUGMASK — sets the OrangeFS debug mask. the possible masks are documented over in pvfs2-set-debugmask(1), so go peek if you need the deets 👑
• PVFS2TAB_FILE — if you set this, it's the full pathname for an alternate pvfs2tab file. lowkey useful when you're not using the default one 💜

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /etc/pvfs2tab

---

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

synchronize metadata but not data, bestie:

pvfs2-set-sync -m /mnt -D 0 -M 1

see how -D 0 turns data sync off and -M 1 turns metadata sync on? iconic. that's the whole recipe 🔥
