Description of filesystem configuration options

Configuration option = Default value	Description
[glance_store]
filesystem_store_datadir = /var/lib/glance/images	(String) Directory to which the filesystem backend store writes images. Upon start up, Glance creates the directory if it doesn't already exist and verifies write access to the user under which glance-api runs. If the write access isn't available, a BadStoreConfiguration exception is raised and the filesystem store may not be available for adding new images. NOTE: This directory is used only when filesystem store is used as a storage backend. Either filesystem_store_datadir or filesystem_store_datadirs option must be specified in glance-api.conf. If both options are specified, a BadStoreConfiguration will be raised and the filesystem store may not be available for adding new images. Possible values: A valid path to a directory Related options: filesystem_store_datadirs filesystem_store_file_perm
filesystem_store_datadirs = None	(Multi-valued) List of directories and their priorities to which the filesystem backend store writes images. The filesystem store can be configured to store images in multiple directories as opposed to using a single directory specified by the filesystem_store_datadir configuration option. When using multiple directories, each directory can be given an optional priority to specify the preference order in which they should be used. Priority is an integer that is concatenated to the directory path with a colon where a higher value indicates higher priority. When two directories have the same priority, the directory with most free space is used. When no priority is specified, it defaults to zero. More information on configuring filesystem store with multiple store directories can be found at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/glance/configuring.html NOTE: This directory is used only when filesystem store is used as a storage backend. Either filesystem_store_datadir or filesystem_store_datadirs option must be specified in glance-api.conf. If both options are specified, a BadStoreConfiguration will be raised and the filesystem store may not be available for adding new images. Possible values: List of strings of the following form: <a valid directory path>:<optional integer priority> Related options: filesystem_store_datadir filesystem_store_file_perm
filesystem_store_file_perm = 0	(Integer) File access permissions for the image files. Set the intended file access permissions for image data. This provides a way to enable other services, e.g. Nova, to consume images directly from the filesystem store. The users running the services that are intended to be given access to could be made a member of the group that owns the files created. Assigning a value less then or equal to zero for this configuration option signifies that no changes be made to the default permissions. This value will be decoded as an octal digit. For more information, please refer the documentation at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/glance/configuring.html Possible values: A valid file access permission Zero Any negative integer Related options: None
filesystem_store_metadata_file = None	(String) Filesystem store metadata file. The path to a file which contains the metadata to be returned with any location associated with the filesystem store. The file must contain a valid JSON object. The object should contain the keys id and mountpoint. The value for both keys should be a string. Possible values: A valid path to the store metadata file Related options: None
