-  -azure-storage-replication int
-    	Replication level to report to clients when data is stored in an Azure container. (default 3)
-  -blob-signature-ttl int
-    	Lifetime of blob permission signatures in seconds. Modifying the ttl will invalidate all existing signatures. See services/api/config/application.default.yml. (default 1209600)
-  -blob-signing-key-file string
-    	File containing the secret key for generating and verifying blob permission signatures.
-  -data-manager-token-file string
-    	File with the API token used by the Data Manager. All DELETE requests or GET /index requests must carry this token.
-  -enforce-permissions
-    	Enforce permission signatures on requests.
-  -listen string
-    	Listening address, in the form "host:port". e.g., 10.0.1.24:8000. Omit the host part to listen on all interfaces. (default ":25107")

-  -max-requests int
-    	Maximum concurrent requests. When this limit is reached, new requests will receive 503 responses. Note: this limit does not include idle connections from clients using HTTP keepalive, so it does not strictly limit the number of concurrent connections. (default 2 * max-buffers)
-  -never-delete
-    	If true, nothing will be deleted. Warning: the relevant features in keepstore and data manager have not been extensively tested. You should leave this option alone unless you can afford to lose data. (default true)

-  -permission-ttl int
-    	Synonym for -blob-signature-ttl.
-  -pid fuser -k pidfile
-    	Path to write pid file during startup. This file is kept open and locked with LOCK_EX until keepstore exits, so fuser -k pidfile is one way to shut down. Exit immediately if there is an error opening, locking, or writing the pid file.

+
+h3. Notes on storage management
+
+On its own, a keepstore server never deletes data.  The "keep-balance":install-keep-balance.html service service determines which blocks are candidates for deletion and instructs the keepstore to move those blocks to the trash.
+
+When a block is newly written, it is protected from deletion for the duration in @BlobSignatureTTL at .  During this time, it cannot be trashed.
+
+If keep-balance instructs keepstore to trash a block which is older than @BlobSignatureTTL@, and @EnableDelete@ is true, the block will be moved to "trash".
+
+h3. Configure storage volumes
+
+Available storage volume types include cloud object storage and POSIX filesystems.
+
+If you are using S3-compatible object storage (including Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Ceph RADOS), follow the setup instructions "S3 Object Storage":configure-s3-object-storage.html page instead and then "Run keepstore as a supervised service.":#keepstoreservice
+
+If you are using Azure Blob Storage, follow the setup instructions "Azure Blob Storage":configure-azure-blob-storage.html and then proceed to "Run keepstore as a supervised service.":#keepstoreservice
+
+To use a POSIX filesystem, including both local filesystems (ext4, xfs) and network file system such as GPFS or Lustre, continue reading this section.
+
+h4. Setting up filesystem mounts
+
+Volumes are configured in the @Volumes@ section of the configuration
+file.  You may provide multiple volumes for a single keepstore process
+to manage multiple disks.  Keepstore distributes blocks among volumes
+in round-robin fashion.
+
+<pre>

+  # When using spinning disks where storage partitions map 1:1 to

-p(#max-buffers). The @-max-buffers@ argument limits keepstore's memory usage. It should be set such that @max-buffers * 64MiB + 10%@ fits comfortably in memory. On a host dedicated to running keepstore, divide total memory by 88MiB to suggest a suitable value. For example, if @grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo@ reports @MemTotal: 7125440 kB@, compute 7125440÷(88×1024)=79 and configure @-max-buffers=79 at .

-If you want access control on your Keepstore server(s), you must specify the @-enforce-permissions@ flag and provide a signing key. The @-blob-signing-key-file@ argument should be a file containing a long random alphanumeric string with no internal line breaks (it is also possible to use a socket or FIFO: keepstore reads it only once, at startup). This key must be the same as the @blob_signing_key@ configured in the "API server's":install-api-server.html configuration file, @/etc/arvados/api/application.yml at .
-
-The @-serialize=true@ (default: @false@) argument limits keepstore to one reader/writer process per storage partition. This avoids thrashing by allowing the storage device underneath the storage partition to do read/write operations sequentially. Enabling @-serialize@ can improve Keepstore performance if the storage partitions map 1:1 to physical disks that are dedicated to Keepstore, particularly so for mechanical disks. In some cloud environments, enabling @-serialize@ has also also proven to be beneficial for performance, but YMMV. If your storage partition(s) are backed by network or RAID storage that can handle many simultaneous reader/writer processes without thrashing, you probably do not want to set @-serialize at .
