<h2 id="filesystem_prefetch_max_memory_usage">
  filesystem\_prefetch\_max\_memory\_usage
</h2>

<SettingsInfoBlock type="NonZeroUInt64" default_value="1073741824" />

Maximum memory usage for prefetches.

Cloud default value: 10% of total memory.

<h2 id="filesystem_prefetch_step_bytes">
  filesystem\_prefetch\_step\_bytes
</h2>

<SettingsInfoBlock type="UInt64" default_value="0" />

Prefetch step in bytes. Zero means `auto` - approximately the best prefetch step will be auto deduced, but might not be 100% the best. The actual value might be different because of setting filesystem\_prefetch\_min\_bytes\_for\_single\_read\_task

<h2 id="filesystem_prefetch_step_marks">
  filesystem\_prefetch\_step\_marks
</h2>

<SettingsInfoBlock type="UInt64" default_value="0" />

Prefetch step in marks. Zero means `auto` - approximately the best prefetch step will be auto deduced, but might not be 100% the best. The actual value might be different because of setting filesystem\_prefetch\_min\_bytes\_for\_single\_read\_task
