Logfiles and status files obey the following naming conventions:
|
|
|
|
|
0.debug.log
|
|
|
|
|
1.info.log
|
|
|
|
|
2.warn.log

3.error.log
|
|
|
|
|
4.fatal.log
|
|
|
|
|
5.total.log
|
|
|
|
|
Logfiles must already exist in order to be appended.
|
2012-01-11 15:16:39 +00:00
|
|
|
Logiles can be rotated by renaming them and creating
|
|
|
|
|
a new empty file in place of the old one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-13 11:50:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Status files follow the same rules, but .log is replaced
|
|
|
|
|
by .status, and they are created automatically. Their content
|
|
|
|
|
is however limited to a few seconds or minutes.

When on, both sides will read the data, compute a md5

|
checksum, and compare them. Only in case the checksum
|
|
|
|
|
mismatches, the data will be actually transferred over
|
|

|
|
the network. This may increase the IO traffic in favour
|

of network traffic. Usually it does no harm to re-read
|
|
|
|
|
the same data twice (only in case of mismatches) over bio
|
|
|
|
|
because RAID controllers will usually cache their data
|
|

for some time. In case of buffered aio reads from filesystems,

the data is cached by the kernel anyway.

Setting this to high numbers (or disabling by setting to 0)
|

|
|
|
may disturb the application performance, because MARS will
|
|
|
|
|
pollute the page cache with pages from the MARS logfiles.
|
|
|
|
|
Setting this to low numbers will prevent such a pollution,
|
|
|
|
|
at the cost of (sometimes) more IO operations.
|
|
|
|
|
EXCEPTION: when you run MARS on a standalone storage server
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. exporting devices via iSCSI), you should use high numbers
|
|
|
|
|
here or even disable this feature. THEN (and ONLY THEN)
|
|
|
|
|
you want MARS to use all the memory for its own caching,
|
|
|
|
|
since there is no other application competing for main memory.
|
|
|
|
|
In unsure, take the default of 64.

fractions of hours (depending on the underlying filesystem).
