NAME¶
gfmd(8) - Gfarm metadata server
SYNOPSIS¶
gfmd [
options ]
DESCRIPTION¶
gfmd is a Gfarm filesystem metadata server for accessing the filesystem
metadata of the Gfarm filesystem.
gfmd must be running on a metadata
server node in advance.
It is possible for
gfmd to be executed as a non-privileged user process,
although only the user that executes the
gfmd can be authenticated.
Other users cannot use it. For details, see SETUP.private.en document
To access gfmd, the hostname and the port number should be specified by the
metadb_server_host and metadb_server_port statements, respectively, in
~/.gfarm2rc or in
%%SYSCONFDIR%%/gfarm2.conf on a client node.
OPTIONS¶
- -L log-level
- Specifies a log priority level. The log output, which
priority is higher or equal to this level, will be sent to syslog or
standard error. Please refer gfarm2.conf(5) for the priority levels which
can be specified by this option.
- -P pid-file
- Specifies a file name to be used to record the process ID
of gfmd.
- -d
- Specifies the debug mode. With the -d option, gfmd runs as
a foreground process, not a daemon.
If this option is specified and -L is not specified, the log level is
set to "debug".
