For debugging only. +:Type: Boolean +:Required: No +:Default: ``0`` + + +.. index:: filestore; extended attributes + +Extended Attributes +=================== + +Extended Attributes (XATTRs) are an important aspect in your configuration. +Some file systems have limits on the number of bytes stored in XATTRS. +Additionally, in some cases, the filesystem may not be as fast as an alternative +method of storing XATTRs. The following settings may help improve performance +by using a method of storing XATTRs that is extrinsic to the underlying filesystem. + +Ceph XATTRs are stored as ``inline xattr``, using the XATTRs provided +by the underlying file system, if it does not impose a size limit. If +there is a size limit (4KB total on ext4, for instance), some Ceph +XATTRs will be stored in an key/value database when either the +``filestore max inline xattr size`` or ``filestore max inline +xattrs`` threshold is reached. + + +``filestore max inline xattr size`` + +:Description: The maximimum size of an XATTR stored in the filesystem (i.e., XFS, + btrfs, ext4, etc.) per object.

It can then free journal +entries up to the commit point. Synchronizing more frequently tends to reduce +the time required to perform synchronization, and reduces the amount of data +that needs to remain in the journal. Less frequent synchronization allows the +backing filesystem to coalesce small writes and metadata updates more +optimally--potentially resulting in more efficient synchronization. + + +``filestore max sync interval`` + +:Description: The maximum interval in seconds for synchronizing the filestore. +:Type: Double +:Required: No +:Default: ``5`` + + +``filestore min sync interval`` + +:Description: The minimum interval in seconds for synchronizing the filestore. +:Type: Double +:Required: No +:Default: ``.01`` + + +.. index:: filestore; flusher + +Flusher +======= + +The filestore flusher forces data from large writes to be written out using +``sync file range`` before the sync in order to (hopefully) reduce the cost of +the eventual sync.
