| fs.trash.current | Current | the name of the current trash checkpoint directory |
| fs.trash.homesPrefix | /user | home directories prefix |
| fs.trash.interval | 60 | interval in seconds between emptier runs |

An annotated configuration file for metaserver can be found here. The configuration file includes a description and a default value for each metaserver configuration parameter.
Metaserver configuration file is organized into two sections of parameters. The parameters in the first section are static in the sense that they can not be modified at run time but require a metaserver restart for the changes to take effect. On the other hand, the parameters in the second section can be changed and start to take effect at run time by editing the configuration file and sending the metaserver process a SIGHUP signal. Please look for the line in the metaserver configuration file that starts with "The parameters below this line" to be able to tell the different sections.
NOTE: In order to restore a parameter to its default at run time, the default value must be explicitly set in the configuration file. In other words, commenting out the parameter will not have any effect until a restart.
An annotated configuration file for chunk server can be found here. The configuration file includes a description and a default value for each chunk server configuration parameter.
Chunk server parameters are categorized into two. The first set of parameters are static in the sense that a chunk server restart is required for any changes on them to take effect. These parameters are defined in chunk server configuration file only. The second set of parameters are the ones which can be changed dynamically at run time. These parameters can be defined both in chunk server and metaserver configuration file. Configuration parameters in the metaserver configuration file take precedence over the parameters defined in chunk server configuration files, i.e. the values defined in chunk server configuration file are overridden dynamically by the metaserver during the initial handshake. Please look for the line in metaserver configuration file that reads "Chunk servers configuration parameters." to see the list of these parameters.
An annotated configuration file for the web reporting interface can be found here.
NOTE: One should not have to modify the settings in the [chunk] section of the web
server configuration file.
