The following table describes the stores.conf parameters required for FTL stores. Any stores.conf parameters not listed here are unsupported when using FTL stores.

Parameter Name Description
[store_name] [store_name] is the name that identifies this store configuration.

Note that the square brackets [ ] DO NOT indicate that the store_name is an option; they must be included around the name.

Other available store type is as follows:

  • file – for file-based stores.

mode

The mode determines whether messages persisted in the store will be written to disk synchronously or asynchronously by FTL. The value can be either:

async - messages are persisted on disk using asynchronous I/O calls.

sync - messages are persisted on disk using synchronous I/O calls.

If not specified, the default for FTL stores is async.

See Persistence with FTL Stores for more information.

EMS does not support configuration of multiple store types in the same server. If using FTL stores, all stores in the configuration must be of type ftl.
