Hello

I used a command to print out the default values and descriptions of all options.
But I can't remember what command I used and can't find it.
What command can check its contents?

Option: cluster.lookup-unhashed
Default Value: on
Description: This option if set to ON, does a lookup through all the sub-volumes, in case a lookup didn't return any result from the hash subvolume. If set to OFF, it does not do a lookup on the remaining subvolumes.

Option: cluster.lookup-optimize
Default Value: on
Description: This option if set to ON enables the optimization of -ve lookups, by not doing a lookup on non-hashed subvolumes for files, in case the hashed subvolume does not return any result. This option disregards the lookup-unhashed setting, when enabled.

Option: cluster.min-free-disk
Default Value: 10%
Description: Percentage/Size of disk space, after which the process starts balancing out the cluster, and logs will appear in log files

Option: cluster.min-free-inodes
Default Value: 5%
Description: after system has only N% of inodes, warnings starts to appear in log files

Option: cluster.rebalance-stats
Default Value: off
Description: This option if set to ON displays and logs the  time taken for migration of each file, during the rebalance process. If set to OFF, the rebalance logs will only display the time spent in each directory.

Option: cluster.subvols-per-directory
Default Value: (null)
Description: Specifies the directory layout spread. Takes number of subvolumes as default value.

Option: cluster.readdir-optimize
Default Value: off
Description: This option if set to ON enables the optimization that allows DHT to requests non-first subvolumes to filter out directory entries.

Option: cluster.rebal-throttle
Default Value: normal
Description:  Sets the maximum number of parallel file migrations allowed on a node during the rebalance operation. The default value is normal and allows a max of [($(processing units) - 4) / 2), 2]  files to be migrated at a time. Lazy will allow only one file to be migrated at a time and aggressive will allow max of [($(processing units) - 4) / 2), 4]

Option: cluster.lock-migration
Default Value: off
Description:  If enabled this feature will migrate the posix locks associated with a file during rebalance

Option: cluster.force-migration
Default Value: off
Description: If disabled, rebalance will not migrate files that are being written to by an application

Option: cluster.weighted-rebalance
Default Value: on
Description: When enabled, files will be allocated to bricks with a probability proportional to their size.  Otherwise, all bricks will have the same probability (legacy behavior).

Option: cluster.entry-change-log
Default Value: on
Description: This option exists only for backward compatibility and configuring it doesn't have any effect

Option: cluster.read-subvolume
Default Value: (null)
Description: inode-read fops happen only on one of the bricks in replicate. Afr will prefer the one specified using this option if it is not stale. Option value must be one of the xlator names of the children. Ex: <volname>-client-0 till <volname>-client-<number-of-bricks - 1>

Option: cluster.read-subvolume-index
Default Value: -1
Description: inode-read fops happen only on one of the bricks in replicate. AFR will prefer the one specified using this option if it is not stale. allowed options include -1 till replica-count - 1

Option: cluster.read-hash-mode
Default Value: 1
Description: inode-read fops happen only on one of the bricks in replicate. AFR will prefer the one computed using the method specified using this option.
0 = first readable child of AFR, starting from 1st child.
1 = hash by GFID of file (all clients use same subvolume).
2 = hash by GFID of file and client PID.
3 = brick having the least outstanding read requests.

Option: cluster.background-self-heal-count
Default Value: 8
Description: This specifies the number of per client self-heal jobs that can perform parallel heals in the background.

Option: cluster.metadata-self-heal
Default Value: off
Description: Using this option we can enable/disable metadata i.e. Permissions, ownerships, xattrs self-heal on the file/directory.

Option: cluster.data-self-heal
Default Value: off
Description: Using this option we can enable/disable data self-heal on the file. "open" means data self-heal action will only be triggered by file open operations.

Option: cluster.entry-self-heal
Default Value: off
Description: Using this option we can enable/disable entry self-heal on the directory.

Option: cluster.self-heal-daemon
Default Value: on
Description: This option applies to only self-heal-daemon. Index directory crawl and automatic healing of files will not be performed if this option is turned off.

Option: cluster.heal-timeout
Default Value: 600
Description: time interval for checking the need to self-heal in self-heal-daemon

Option: cluster.self-heal-window-size
Default Value: 1
Description: Maximum number blocks per file for which self-heal process would be applied simultaneously.

Option: cluster.data-change-log
Default Value: on
Description: This option exists only for backward compatibility and configuring it doesn't have any effect

Option: cluster.metadata-change-log
Default Value: on
Description: This option exists only for backward compatibility and configuring it doesn't have any effect

Option: cluster.data-self-heal-algorithm
Default Value: (null)
Description: Select between "full", "diff". The "full" algorithm copies the entire file from source to sink. The "diff" algorithm copies to sink only those blocks whose checksums don't match with those of source. If no option is configured the option is chosen dynamically as follows: If the file does not exist on one of the sinks or empty file exists or if the source file size is about the same as page size the entire file will be read and written i.e "full" algo, otherwise "diff" algo is chosen.

Option: cluster.eager-lock
Default Value: on
Description: Enable/Disable eager lock for replica volume. Lock phase of a transaction has two sub-phases. First is an attempt to acquire locks in parallel by broadcasting non-blocking lock requests. If lock acquisition fails on any server, then the held locks are unlocked and we revert to a blocking locks mode sequentially on one server after another.  If this option is enabled the initial broadcasting lock request attempts to acquire a full lock on the entire file. If this fails, we revert back to the sequential "regional" blocking locks as before. In the case where such an "eager" lock is granted in the non-blocking phase, it gives rise to an opportunity for optimization. i.e, if the next write transaction on the same FD arrives before the unlock phase of the first transaction, it "takes over" the full file lock. Similarly if yet another data transaction arrives before the unlock phase of the "optimized" transaction, that in turn "takes over" the lock as well. The actual unlock now happens at the end of the last "optimized" transaction.

Option: disperse.eager-lock
Default Value: on
Description: Enable/Disable eager lock for regular files on a disperse volume. If a fop takes a lock and completes its operation, it waits for next 1 second before releasing the lock, to see if the lock can be reused for next fop from the same client. If ec finds any lock contention within 1 second it releases the lock immediately before time expires. This improves the performance of file operations. However, as it takes lock on first brick, for few operations like read, discovery of lock contention might take long time and can actually degrade the performance. If eager lock is disabled, lock will be released as soon as fop completes.

Option: disperse.other-eager-lock
Default Value: on
Description: It's equivalent to the eager-lock option but for non regular files.

Option: disperse.eager-lock-timeout
Default Value: 1
Description: Maximum time (in seconds) that a lock on an inode is kept held if no new operations on the inode are received.

Option: disperse.other-eager-lock-timeout
Default Value: 1
Description: It's equivalent to eager-lock-timeout option but for non regular files.

Option: cluster.quorum-type
Default Value: none
Description: If value is "fixed" only allow writes if quorum-count bricks are present.  If value is "auto" only allow writes if more than half of bricks, or exactly half including the first, are present.

Option: cluster.quorum-count
Default Value: (null)
Description: If quorum-type is "fixed" only allow writes if this many bricks are present.  Other quorum types will OVERWRITE this value.

Option: cluster.choose-local
Default Value: true
Description: Choose a local subvolume (i.e. Brick) to read from if read-subvolume is not explicitly set.

Option: cluster.self-heal-readdir-size
Default Value: 1KB
Description: readdirp size for performing entry self-heal

Option: cluster.ensure-durability
Default Value: on
Description: Afr performs fsyncs for transactions if this option is on to make sure the changelogs/data is written to the disk

Option: cluster.consistent-metadata
Default Value: no
Description: If this option is enabled, readdirp will force lookups on those entries read whose read child is not the same as that of the parent. This will guarantee that all read operations on a file serve attributes from the same subvol as long as it holds  a good copy of the file/dir.

Option: cluster.heal-wait-queue-length
Default Value: 128
Description: This specifies the number of heals that can be queued for the parallel background self heal jobs.

Option: cluster.favorite-child-policy
Default Value: none
Description: This option can be used to automatically resolve split-brains using various policies without user intervention. "size" picks the file with the biggest size as the source. "ctime" and "mtime" pick the file with the latest ctime and mtime respectively as the source. "majority" picks a file with identical mtime and size in more than half the number of bricks in the replica.

Option: performance.cache-invalidation
Default Value: false
Description: When "on", invalidates/updates the metadata cache, on receiving the cache-invalidation notifications

Option: performance.ctime-invalidation
Default Value: false
Description: Quick-read by default uses mtime to identify changes to file data. However there are applications like rsync which explicitly set mtime making it unreliable for the purpose of identifying change in file content . Since ctime also changes when content of a file  changes and it cannot be set explicitly, it becomes  suitable for identifying staleness of cached data. This option makes quick-read to prefer ctime over mtime to validate its cache. However, using ctime can result in false positives as ctime changes with just attribute changes like permission without changes to file data. So, use this only when mtime is not reliable

Option: performance.flush-behind
