Size limits
Mutagen has two session configuration parameters to limit synchronization disk usage.
Maximum staging file size
The maximum file size that Mutagen will allow to be staged (transferred) can be
set on a per-session basis by passing the --max-staging-file-size=<size>
flag
to the mutagen sync create
command. This limit can be set on a default
per-session basis by including the following in ~/mutagen.yml
:
sync:
defaults:
maxStagingFileSize: "<size>"
Size specifications can be provided as a numeric value representing byte count
or as a string using human-friendly units (for example, "1000 MB"
). A value of
0
(the default) indicates a limit of 264-1 bytes.
Maximum entry count
The maximum entry count (i.e. the total count of directories, files, and
symbolic links in a synchronization root) that Mutagen will process is unlimited
by default, but can be set on a per-session basis by passing the
--max-entry-count=<count>
flag to the mutagen sync create
command. This
limit can be set on a default per-session basis by including the following in
~/.mutagen.yml
, for example:
sync:
defaults:
maxEntryCount: <count>
The count should be a positive integer value. A value of 0
(the default)
indicates a limit of 264-1 entries.
