GANESHA-VFS-CONFIG(8)

✨ GANESHA-VFS-CONFIG 💅

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about ganesha-vfs-config — the NFS Ganesha VFS Configuration File. that's the whole vibe of this page. it's the config file for the VFS FSAL and it's literally just sitting there waiting for you to love it.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

/etc/ganesha/vfs.conf

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: NFS-Ganesha installs the config example for the VFS FSAL, and it lives right here:

|
/etc/ganesha/vfs.conf

this file lists all the VFS specific config options. it's giving very organized, no cap. 🦋

🫶 EXPORT { FSAL {} }

this is where you tell Ganesha who the FSAL is, bestie. the options:

• Name (string, "vfs") — the Name of the FSAL should always be vfs. like, always always. don't get cute with it. 👑
• pnfs (bool, default false) — pNFS on or off.
• fsid_type (enum) — the possible values are: None, One64, Major64, Two64, uuid, Two32, Dev, Device.

🌈 VFS {}

the main character block. here's every knob you can turn:

• link_support (bool, default true) — whether links are supported.
• symlink_support (bool, default true) — whether symlinks are supported.
• cansettime (bool, default true) — whether timestamps can be set.
• maxread (uint64, range 512 to 64*1024*1024, default 64*1024*1024) — the max read size. that default is a whole 64 MiB, slay.
• maxwrite (uint64, range 512 to 64*1024*1024, default 64*1024*1024) — the max write size. same energy, same default.
• umask (mode, range 0 to 0777, default 0) — the umask.
• auth_xdev_export (bool, default false) — cross-device export auth.
• only_one_user (bool, default false) — exactly what it sounds like.

bestie reminder: every value above is written exactly as the page says it, so please copy them character for character. the ranges and defaults are not a vibe, they're a contract. 💖
