Rsyncd configuration¶

Find an example rsyncd configuration at etc/rsyncd.conf-sample in the source code repository.

The available configuration options are:

Description of configuration options in `rsyncd.conf`¶
Configuration option = Default value	Description
`gid` = `swift`	Group ID for rsyncd.
`log file` = `/var/log/rsyncd.log`	Log file for rsyncd.
`pid file` = `/var/run/rsyncd.pid`	PID file for rsyncd.
`uid` = `swift`	User ID for rsyncd.
`max connections` =	Maximum number of connections for rsyncd. This option should be set for each account, container, or object.
`path` = `/srv/node`	Working directory for rsyncd to use. This option should be set for each account, container, or object.
`read only` = `false`	Set read only. This option should be set for each account, container, or object.
`lock file` =	Lock file for rsyncd. This option should be set for each account, container, or object.

If rsync_module includes the device, you can tune rsyncd to permit 4 connections per device instead of simply allowing 8 connections for all devices:

rsync_module = {replication_ip}::object_{device}

If devices in your object ring are named sda, sdb, and sdc:

[object_sda]
max connections = 4
path = /srv/node
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/object_sda.lock

[object_sdb]
max connections = 4
path = /srv/node
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/object_sdb.lock

[object_sdc]
max connections = 4
path = /srv/node
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/object_sdc.lock

To emulate the deprecated vm_test_mode = yes option, set:

rsync_module = {replication_ip}::object{replication_port}

Therefore, on your SAIO, you have to set the following rsyncd configuration:

[object6010]
max connections = 25
path = /srv/1/node/
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/object6010.lock

[object6020]
max connections = 25
path = /srv/2/node/
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/object6020.lock

[object6030]
max connections = 25
path = /srv/3/node/
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/object6030.lock

[object6040]
max connections = 25
path = /srv/4/node/
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/object6040.lock
