glusterd.vol is a config file which glusterd uses during it's own
initialization. The parameters used in this file are somewhat global to
GlusterD's context and has nothing to do with any volume specific options.
For a particular volume tunable you are advised to use volume set interface
through CLI.

This is how the glusterd.vol file looks like

volume
management

    type
mgmt/glusterd
    option working-directory @GLUSTERD_WORKDIR@
/* defines where glusterd's data will be stored
    option transport-type
socket,rdma                                                            /*
transport type options
    option transport.socket.keepalive-time
10
    option transport.socket.keepalive-interval
2
    option transport.socket.read-fail-log
off
    option ping-timeout
0
/* ping-timeout set to 0 indicates there is no ping-timer logic
    option event-threads
1
/* single threaded e-poll
#   option transport.address-family
inet6
#   option base-port
49152
end-volume
