SYS.CONF(5)

πŸ’… SYS.CONF β€” the manual page for SYS.CONF(5)

okay bestie, welcome to the SYS.CONF(5) page, aka the place where your nvme-stas(7) configuration file finally gets explained πŸ’–


✨ NAME ✨

sys.conf β€” the configuration file for nvme-stas(7). that's it, that's the whole name section, she's concise πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/etc/stas/sys.conf

one path. one file. one vibe. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so here's the tea β˜• β€” when stafd(8) and stacd(8) start up, they read the system configuration straight out of sys.conf. that's literally the whole plot, no cap.


🌈 CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT 🌈

sys.conf is a plain text file, and it's divided into sections, with configuration entries written in the classic key=value style. 🫢

  • whitespace sitting immediately before or after the =? ignored. it's giving "not relevant, next" πŸ’…
  • empty lines? ignored.
  • lines starting with #? also ignored β€” that's your commenting tool right there, use it, love it ✨

πŸ”₯ OPTIONS πŸ”₯

πŸ‘‘ [Host] section

the following options are available in the [Host] section β€” this is the main character section fr:

  • nqn= β€” takes a string argument identifying the Host NQN 🧚. if the value starts with file://, that means the Host NQN can be retrieved from a separate file. this one is a mandatory parameter, so no skipping it. it defaults to: file:///etc/nvme/hostnqn.
  • id= β€” takes a string argument identifying the Host ID ⭐. if the value starts with file://, that means the Host ID can be retrieved from a separate file. also mandatory, bestie, don't forget it. defaults to: file:///etc/nvme/hostid.
  • symname= β€” takes a string argument identifying the Host symbolic name 🌸. if the value starts with file://, that means the symbolic name can be retrieved from a separate file. this one is optional, so she's lowkey chill. there is no default value β€” not me checking, it's just literally not there πŸ™ˆ
