mfsgui.cfg

Every option of mfsgui.cfg, the configuration file of the GUI server. Lines starting with # are comments, and one line sets one option:

OPTION = VALUE

An option the file does not set takes the default value from this table. A dash stands for an option with no default: what it configures stays off until you set it.

A path, a user name or a port number below is the value the packages are built with. If you build MooseFS yourself, configure sets that value. See values set at build time.
