You can configure BoostFS by using either of the following options:
The boostfs command is used to establish the FUSE mount, create the lockbox (optional), and set up Kerberos credentials if Kerberos is chosen as the authentication method.
The configuration file is in /opt/emc/boostfs/etc and can be edited by the root user or a user with sudo privileges. Parameters can be specified either in the configuration file or on the command line, or both.
The configuration file has a global section and a mount-point-specific section. Configuration parameters that are configured through the command line take the highest priority and override any values in the configuration file. Mount-specific parameter values override global parameter values.
