[Gluster-devel] [Gluster-users] Docs on gluster parameters

[Strahil Nikolov]

Hi Ravi,

I can propose a pull request if someone gives me a general idea of each setting.
Do we have comments in the source code that can be used as a description ?

Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov

Hi, 



 Differently, the Gluster docs missing quite a bit regarding the available options that can be used in the volumes.

Not only that, there are some options that might corrupt data and do not have proper documentation, for example, disable Sharding will lead to data corruption and I think it does not give any warning? "maybe I'm wrong regarding the warning tho" and I can not find any details about it in the official Gluster docs. The same goes for multiple clients accessing a volume with Sharding enabled.

also, in some cases, write-behind and stat-prefetch can lead to data inconsistency if multiple clients accessing the same data.

I think having solid "Official" Gluster docs with all of these details is essential to have stable Gluster deployments.

https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/  can be updated by sending pull requests to https://github.com/gluster/glusterdocs. It would be great if you can send some patches regarding the changes you would like to see. It doesn't have to be perfect. I can help in getting them reviewed and merged.
Thanks,
Ravi
