Listing GlusterFS volume options exposes the effective tunables applied to a volume, which helps explain changes in performance, healing behavior, and client-side consistency across a cluster.
A GlusterFS volume maintains an option dictionary managed by glusterd, and the gluster CLI reads that dictionary with gluster volume get to report option keys (such as performance.* or cluster.*) with their current values.
Option output depends on volume type and which keys were explicitly set; keys not listed are generally using built-in defaults or inherited settings for the running version. Run the commands from a trusted node with management access and treat copied option listings as operational metadata when sharing logs or documentation.

$ sudo gluster volume list volume1 volume2
$ sudo gluster volume get volume1 all Option Value ------ ----- cluster.granular-entry-heal on features.quota off performance.client-io-threads on performance.readdir-ahead on transport.address-family inet ##### snipped #####
Keys not present in the output are generally using defaults for the running GlusterFS version and volume type.
$ sudo gluster volume get volume1 all | grep '^performance\.' performance.client-io-threads on performance.readdir-ahead on
Replace performance. with features. or cluster. to narrow output by subsystem.
