The directory in which Garage will store the data blocks of objects.
This folder can be placed on an HDD. The space available for `data_dir`
should be counted to determine a node's capacity

### `block_size`
Garage splits stored objects in consecutive chunks of size `block_size`
(except the last one which might be smaller). The default size is 1MB and
should work in most cases. If you are interested in tuning this, feel free
to do so (and remember to report your findings to us!). If this value is
changed for a running Garage installation, only files newly uploaded will be
affected. Previously uploaded files will remain available. This however
means that chunks from existing files will not be deduplicated with chunks
from newly uploaded files, meaning you might use more storage space that is
optimally possible.

you are using Garage to store large files and have fast network connections
between all nodes (e.g. 1gbps).

Compression is done synchronously, setting a value too high will add latency to write queries.

This parameter can be used to tune the capacity of the cache used by
[sled](https://sled.rs), the database Garage uses internally to store metadata.
Tune this to fit the RAM you wish to make available to your Garage instance.
More cache means faster Garage, but the default value (128MB) should be plenty
for most use cases.
This value has a conservative default (128MB) so that Garage doesn't use too much
RAM by default, but feel free to increase this for higher performance.
