pvfs2.conf(5)

okay bestie, welcome to pvfs2.conf(5) — a page straight from the PVFS2 Manuals pile, all about pvfs2 server config files 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pvfs2.conf — information about pvfs2 server config files, and yes, we’re making it cute 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So, all pvfs2-server programs will consult two config files to configure themselves. No cap, two whole files:

• fs.conf — this config file has global settings for every server 🌍
• server.conf — this config file has local overrides for that server 🙈

Real talk: at this time, the documentation for these files is incomplete — like, it’s not even started 😭. Bestie, use pvfs2-genconfig(1) to create the config files for the servers — that’s the move.

One useful setting in the fs.conf config file is the EventLogging setting ✨. This is used to force logging of certain types of information at run time on the pvfs2-server. A value of none indicates no debugging; a value of verbose will cause a significant amount of debugging information to be produced. The various other options for this value can be deduced from src/common/misc/pvfs2-debug.c until we document them — iykyk 🔥.

lowkey important: those EventLogging values are exactly none and verbose, and that debug source path is src/common/misc/pvfs2-debug.c. Periodt 💅

💀 BUGS 💀
