Is there a list of all performance tuning options, and a description of
what they do? Even better if it details pros/cons of using a particular
option, or circumstances in which you might want to use it.

If such a list exists, it would be very useful. I've tried googling but
can only find pages for very old versions (eg gluster 3.2) and only
detailing /some/ options.

Knowing what the value defaults to would also be handy. In a separate
thread, someone advised me to do "gluster volume set <VOLNAME>
performance.flush-behind off", but when I found that didn't help (the
issue turned out to be something I was doing, not a fault in gluster) I
couldn't figure out what the default value was, so I didn't know whether
to leave it off, or whether it had previously been on.

Is there anything available?
