.TH VENTI.CONF 6
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
venti.conf \- a venti configuration file
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
A venti configuration file enumerates the various index sections and
|
|
arenas that constitute a venti system.
|
|
The components are indicated by the name of the file, typically
|
|
a disk partition, in which they reside. The configuration
|
|
file is the only location that file names are used. Internally,
|
|
venti uses the names assigned when the components were formatted
|
|
with
|
|
.I fmtarenas
|
|
or
|
|
.I fmtisect
|
|
(see
|
|
.IR venti-fmt (8)).
|
|
In particular, by changing the configuration a
|
|
component can be copied to a different file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The configuration file consists of lines in the form described below.
|
|
Lines starting with
|
|
.B #
|
|
are comments.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI index " name
|
|
Names the index for the system.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI arenas " file
|
|
.I File
|
|
contains a collection of arenas, formatted using
|
|
.IR fmtarenas .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI isect " file
|
|
.I File
|
|
contains an index section, formatted using
|
|
.IR fmtisect .
|
|
.PP
|
|
After formatting a venti system using
|
|
.IR fmtindex ,
|
|
the order of arenas and index sections should not be changed.
|
|
Additional arenas can be appended to the configuration.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The configuration file optionally holds configuration parameters
|
|
for the venti server itself.
|
|
These are:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI mem " cachesize
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI bcmem " blockcachesize
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI icmem " indexcachesize
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI addr " ventiaddress
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI httpaddr " httpaddress
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B queuewrites
|
|
.PD

See
|
|
.IR venti (8)
|

for descriptions of these variables.
