Some checks are pending
mkdocs / deploy (push) Waiting to run
Run in an elevated credential mode (root) and let the kernel manage entitlements. Will result in slightly different behavior but should not be noticed by most.

# Resource Usage and Management
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
* threads
|
|
* configurable number of [threads](config/threads.md)
|
|
* reading from kernel
|
|
* processing messages from kernel
|
|
* readdir concurrency
|
|
* memory
|
|
* 1MB+ pre reader thread + inflight processing for messages
|
|
depending on [fuse-msg-size](config/fuse-msg-size.md)
|
|
* buffers allocated temporarily for reading directories
|
|
* FUSE nodes
|
|
* noforget forgotten nodes
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Management
|
|
|
|
* To limit the risk of the Linux kernel's OOM Killer targeting
|
|
mergerfs it sets its
|
|
[oom_score_adj](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc_pid_oom_score_adj.5.html)
|
|
value to -990.
|
|
* mergerfs increases [its available file descriptor and file size
|
|
limit.](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/setrlimit.3p.html)
|
|
* mergerfs lowers its [scheduling
|
|
priority](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/setpriority.3p.html)
|
|
to -10 ([by default](config/options.md))
|
|
* The [readahead](config/readahead.md) values of mergerfs itself and
|
|
managed filesystems can be modified.
