Your chunkservers are pretty simple to set up. Usually, if your /etc/hosts file is set up correctly with the address of the master server and you do not require labeling, the mfschunkserver.cfg file can stay as it is.
↳ Check out step-by-step instructions in our Documentation.
Once this is set up, your chunkserver is ready and actively taking part in your LizardFS cluster.
To remove a directory from being used by LizardFS, just add a * to the beginning of the line in mfshdd.cfg. LizardFS will replicate all the data from it somewhere else. Once you see in the web interface that all data has been safely copied away, you can update the file and remove the line and then remove the device associated with it from your chunkserver.
