+# ARM64 Support for FoundationDB Integration
+
+This document explains how to run FoundationDB integration tests on ARM64 systems (Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3 Macs).
+
+## Problem
+
+The official FoundationDB Docker images (`foundationdb/foundationdb:7.1.61`) are only available for `linux/amd64` architecture. When running on ARM64 systems, you'll encounter "Illegal instruction" errors. Apple now publishes official ARM64 Debian packages (starting with 7.4.5), which this repo downloads directly for native workflows.
+
+## Solutions
+
+We provide **three different approaches** to run FoundationDB on ARM64:
+
+### 1. 🚀 ARM64 Native (Recommended for Development)
+
+**Pros:** Native performance, no emulation overhead  
+**Cons:** Requires downloading ~100MB of FoundationDB packages on first run
+
+```bash
+# Build and run ARM64-native FoundationDB from source
+make setup-arm64
+make test-arm64
+```
+
+This approach:
+- Downloads the official FoundationDB 7.4.5 ARM64 packages
+- Takes ~2-3 minutes on first run (no source compilation)
+- Provides native performance
+- Uses `docker-compose.arm64.yml`
+
+### 2. 🐳 x86 Emulation (Quick Setup)
+
+**Pros:** Fast setup, uses official images  
+**Cons:** Slower runtime performance due to emulation
+
+```bash
+# Run x86 images with Docker emulation
+make setup-emulated
+make test-emulated
+```
+
+This approach:
+- Uses Docker's x86 emulation
+- Quick setup with official images  
+- May have performance overhead
+- Uses standard `docker-compose.yml` with platform specification
+
+### 3. 📝 Mock Testing (Fastest)
+
+**Pros:** No dependencies, always works, fast execution  
+**Cons:** Doesn't test real FoundationDB integration
+
+```bash
+# Run mock tests (no FoundationDB cluster needed)
+make test-mock
+make test-reliable
+```
+
+## Files Overview
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `docker-compose.yml` | Standard setup with platform specification |
+| `docker-compose.arm64.yml` | ARM64-native setup with source builds |
+| `Dockerfile.fdb-arm64` | Multi-stage build for ARM64 FoundationDB |
+| `README.ARM64.md` | This documentation |
+
+## Performance Comparison
+
+| Approach | Setup Time | Runtime Performance | Compatibility |
+|----------|------------|-------------------|---------------|
+| ARM64 Native | 2-3 min | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ARM64 only |
+| x86 Emulation | 2-3 min | ⭐⭐⭐ | ARM64 + x86 |
+| Mock Testing | < 1 min | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Any platform |
+
+## Quick Start Commands
+
+```bash
+# For ARM64 Mac users - choose your approach:
+
+# Option 1: ARM64 native (best performance)
+make clean && make setup-arm64
+
+# Option 2: x86 emulation (faster setup) 
+make clean && make setup-emulated
+
+# Option 3: Mock testing (no FDB needed)
+make test-mock
+
+# Clean up everything
+make clean
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Timeouts
+If ARM64 builds timeout, increase Docker build timeout:
+```bash
+export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
+export BUILDKIT_PROGRESS=plain
+make setup-arm64
+```
+
+### Memory Issues
+ARM64 builds require significant memory:
+- Increase Docker memory limit to 8GB+
+- Close other applications during build
+
+### Platform Detection
+Verify your platform:
+```bash
+docker info | grep -i arch
+uname -m  # Should show arm64
+```
+
+## CI/CD Recommendations
+
+- **Development**: Use `make test-mock` for fast feedback
+- **ARM64 CI**: Use `make setup-arm64` 
+- **x86 CI**: Use `make setup` (standard)
+- **Multi-platform CI**: Run both depending on runner architecture
+
+## Architecture Details
+
+The ARM64 solution now uses the official FoundationDB 7.4.5 aarch64 packages:
+
+1. **Builder Stage**: Downloads prebuilt FoundationDB client libraries
+   - Uses Debian-based Go image for compiling SeaweedFS
+   - Verifies SHA256 checksums before installing the deb package
+
+2. **Runtime Stage**: Copies the already-installed artifacts
+   - SeaweedFS runtime layers reuse the validated libraries
+   - FoundationDB server containers install the prebuilt server + client packages with checksum verification
+
+This keeps the setup time short while preserving native ARM64 performance and strong supply-chain guarantees.

+# FoundationDB Integration Testing
+
+This directory contains integration tests and setup scripts for the FoundationDB filer store in SeaweedFS.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# ✅ GUARANTEED TO WORK - Run reliable tests (no FoundationDB dependencies)
+make test-reliable      # Validation + Mock tests
+
+# Run individual test types
+make test-mock          # Mock FoundationDB tests (always work)
+go test -v ./validation_test.go  # Package structure validation
+
+# 🐳 FULL INTEGRATION (requires Docker + FoundationDB dependencies)
+make setup              # Start FoundationDB cluster + SeaweedFS
+make test               # Run all integration tests
+make test-simple        # Simple containerized test environment
+
+# Clean up
+make clean              # Clean main environment
+make clean-simple       # Clean simple test environment
+
+# 🍎 ARM64 / APPLE SILICON SUPPORT
+make setup-arm64        # Native ARM64 FoundationDB (builds from source)
+make setup-emulated     # x86 emulation (faster setup)
+make test-arm64         # Test with ARM64 native
+make test-emulated      # Test with x86 emulation
+```
+
+### Test Levels
+
+1. **✅ Validation Tests** (`validation_test.go`) - Always work, no dependencies
+2. **✅ Mock Tests** (`mock_integration_test.go`) - Test FoundationDB store logic with mocks
+3. **⚠️  Real Integration Tests** (`foundationdb_*_test.go`) - Require actual FoundationDB cluster
+
+### ARM64 / Apple Silicon Support
+
+**🍎 For M1/M2/M3 Mac users:** FoundationDB's official Docker images are AMD64-only. We provide three solutions:
+
+- **Native ARM64** (`make setup-arm64`) - Downloads official FoundationDB ARM64 packages and builds SeaweedFS natively (≈2-3 min setup, best performance)
+- **x86 Emulation** (`make setup-emulated`) - Uses Docker emulation (fast setup, slower runtime)  
+- **Mock Testing** (`make test-mock`) - No FoundationDB needed (instant, tests logic only)
+
+The ARM64 setup automatically builds both FoundationDB and SeaweedFS from source using `docker-compose.arm64.yml` and dedicated ARM64 Dockerfiles. No pre-built images required!
+
+📖 **Detailed Guide:** See [README.ARM64.md](README.ARM64.md) for complete ARM64 documentation.
+
+## Test Environment
+
+The test environment includes:
+
+- **3-node FoundationDB cluster** (fdb1, fdb2, fdb3) for realistic distributed testing
+- **Database initialization service** (fdb-init) that configures the cluster
+- **SeaweedFS service** configured to use the FoundationDB filer store
+- **Automatic service orchestration** with proper startup dependencies
+
+## Test Structure
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+#### `foundationdb_integration_test.go`
+- Basic CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
+- Directory operations and listing:
+  - `ListDirectoryEntries` - List all entries in a directory
+  - `ListDirectoryPrefixedEntries` - List entries matching a prefix
+  - `DeleteFolderChildren` - Bulk deletion of directory contents
+- Transaction handling (begin, commit, rollback)
+- Key-Value operations
+- Large entry handling with compression
+- Error scenarios and edge cases
+
+**Note:** These tests operate at the filer store level, testing the metadata index operations that underpin S3 bucket listing and directory tree operations.
+
+#### `foundationdb_concurrent_test.go`
+- Concurrent insert operations across multiple goroutines
+- Concurrent read/write operations on shared files
+- Concurrent transaction handling with conflict resolution
+- Concurrent directory operations
+- Concurrent key-value operations
+- Stress testing under load
+
+#### `test_fdb_s3.sh` - End-to-End S3 Integration Tests
+- **S3 bucket creation** - Create buckets via S3 API
+- **S3 file upload** - Upload files to buckets
+- **S3 bucket listing** (`aws s3 ls`) - **Validates listing operations work correctly**
+- **S3 file download** - Retrieve and verify file contents
+- **S3 file deletion** - Delete objects and verify removal
+- **FoundationDB backend verification** - Confirms data is stored in FDB
+- **Filer directory operations** - Direct filer API calls for directory creation/listing
+
+**This test validates the complete S3 workflow including the listing operations that were problematic in earlier versions.**
+
+#### Unit Tests (`weed/filer/foundationdb/foundationdb_store_test.go`)
+- Store initialization and configuration
+- Key generation and directory prefixes
+- Error handling and validation
+- Performance benchmarks
+- Configuration validation
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+The tests can be configured using environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export FDB_CLUSTER_FILE=/var/fdb/config/fdb.cluster
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_ENABLED=true
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_API_VERSION=740
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_TIMEOUT=10s
+```
+
+#### Docker Compose Environment Variables
+
+The `docker-compose.yml` file supports the following optional environment variables with sensible defaults:
+
+```bash
+# FoundationDB image (default: foundationdb/foundationdb:7.1.61)
+export FOUNDATIONDB_IMAGE=foundationdb/foundationdb:7.1.61
+
+# FoundationDB port (default: 4500)
+export FDB_PORT=4500
+
+# FoundationDB cluster file contents (default: docker:docker@fdb1:4500,fdb2:4500,fdb3:4500)
+export FDB_CLUSTER_FILE_CONTENTS="docker:docker@fdb1:4500,fdb2:4500,fdb3:4500"
+
+# SeaweedFS image (default: chrislusf/seaweedfs:latest)
+export SEAWEEDFS_IMAGE=chrislusf/seaweedfs:latest
+```
+
+**Note:** These variables are optional. If not set, the docker-compose will use the default values shown above, allowing `docker-compose up` to work out-of-the-box without any `.env` file or manual configuration.
+
+### Docker Compose Configuration
+
+The `docker-compose.yml` sets up:
+
+1. **FoundationDB Cluster**: 3 coordinating nodes with data distribution
+2. **Database Configuration**: Single SSD storage class for testing
+3. **SeaweedFS Integration**: Automatic filer store configuration
+4. **Volume Persistence**: Data persists between container restarts
+
+### Test Configuration Files
+
+- `filer.toml`: FoundationDB filer store configuration
+- `s3.json`: S3 API credentials for end-to-end testing
+- `Makefile`: Test automation and environment management
+
+## Test Commands
+
+### Setup Commands
+
+```bash
+make setup              # Full environment setup
+make dev-fdb           # Just FoundationDB cluster
+make install-deps      # Check dependencies
+make check-env         # Validate configuration
+```
+
+### Test Commands
+
+```bash
+make test              # All tests
+make test-unit         # Go unit tests
+make test-integration  # Integration tests
+make test-e2e         # End-to-end S3 tests (includes S3 bucket listing)
+make test-crud        # Basic CRUD operations
+make test-concurrent  # Concurrency tests
+make test-benchmark   # Performance benchmarks
+```
+
+#### S3 and Listing Operation Coverage
+
+**✅ Currently Tested:**
+- **S3 bucket listing** (`aws s3 ls`) - Validated in `test_fdb_s3.sh`
+- **Directory metadata listing** (`ListDirectoryEntries`) - Tested in `foundationdb_integration_test.go`
+- **Prefix-based listing** (`ListDirectoryPrefixedEntries`) - Tested in `foundationdb_integration_test.go`
+- **Filer directory operations** - Basic filer API calls in `test_fdb_s3.sh`
+- **Metadata index operations** - All CRUD operations on directory entries
+
+**⚠️ Limited/Future Coverage:**
+- **Recursive tree operations** - Not explicitly tested (e.g., `weed filer.tree` command)
+- **Large directory stress tests** - Listings with thousands of entries not currently benchmarked
+- **Concurrent listing operations** - Multiple simultaneous directory listings under load
+- **S3 ListObjectsV2 pagination** - Large bucket listing with continuation tokens
+
+**Recommendation:** If experiencing issues with S3 listing operations in production, add stress tests for large directories and concurrent listing scenarios to validate FoundationDB's range scan performance at scale.
+
+### Debug Commands
+
+```bash
+make status           # Show service status
+make logs             # Show all logs
+make logs-fdb         # FoundationDB logs only
+make logs-seaweedfs   # SeaweedFS logs only
+make debug            # Debug information
+```
+
+### Cleanup Commands
+
+```bash
+make clean            # Stop services and cleanup
+```
+
+## Test Data
+
+Tests use isolated directory prefixes to avoid conflicts:
+
+- **Unit tests**: `seaweedfs_test`
+- **Integration tests**: `seaweedfs_test`
+- **Concurrent tests**: `seaweedfs_concurrent_test_<timestamp>`
+- **E2E tests**: `seaweedfs` (default)
+
+## Expected Test Results
+
+### Performance Expectations
+
+Based on FoundationDB characteristics:
+- **Single operations**: < 10ms latency
+- **Batch operations**: High throughput with transactions
+- **Concurrent operations**: Linear scaling with multiple clients
+- **Directory listings**: Efficient range scans
+
+### Reliability Expectations
+
+- **ACID compliance**: All operations are atomic and consistent
+- **Fault tolerance**: Automatic recovery from node failures
+- **Concurrency**: No data corruption under concurrent load
+- **Durability**: Data persists across restarts
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **FoundationDB Connection Errors**
+   ```bash
+   # Check cluster status
+   make status
+   
+   # Verify cluster file
+   docker-compose exec fdb-init cat /var/fdb/config/fdb.cluster
+   ```
+
+2. **Test Failures**
+   ```bash
+   # Check service logs
+   make logs-fdb
+   make logs-seaweedfs
+   
+   # Run with verbose output
+   go test -v -tags foundationdb ./...
+   ```
+
+3. **Performance Issues**
+   ```bash
+   # Check cluster health
+   docker-compose exec fdb-init fdbcli --exec 'status details'
+   
+   # Monitor resource usage
+   docker stats
+   ```
+
+4. **Docker Issues**
+   ```bash
+   # Clean Docker state
+   make clean
+   docker system prune -f
+   
+   # Restart from scratch
+   make setup
+   ```
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable verbose logging for detailed troubleshooting:
+
+```bash
+# SeaweedFS debug logs
+WEED_FILER_OPTIONS_V=2 make test
+
+# FoundationDB debug logs (in fdbcli)
+configure new single ssd; status details
+```
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+For manual verification:
+
+```bash
+# Start environment
+make dev-fdb
+
+# Connect to FoundationDB
+docker-compose exec fdb-init fdbcli
+
+# FDB commands:
+# status                    - Show cluster status  
+# getrange "" \xFF          - Show all keys
+# getrange seaweedfs seaweedfs\xFF  - Show SeaweedFS keys
+```
+
+### Listing Operations Return Empty Results
+
+**Symptoms:** Uploads succeed, direct file reads work, but listing operations (`aws s3 ls`, `s3.bucket.list`, `weed filer.ls/tree`) return no results.
+
+**Test Coverage:** The `test_fdb_s3.sh` script explicitly tests S3 bucket listing (`aws s3 ls`) to catch this class of issue. Integration tests cover the underlying `ListDirectoryEntries` operations.
+
+**Diagnostic steps:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Verify writes reached FoundationDB
+docker-compose exec fdb-init fdbcli
+> getrange seaweedfs seaweedfs\xFF
+# If no keys appear, writes aren't reaching the store
+
+# 2. Check SeaweedFS volume assignment
+curl http://localhost:9333/cluster/status
+# Look for "AssignVolume" errors in logs:
+make logs-seaweedfs | grep -i "assignvolume\|writable"
+
+# 3. Verify filer health and configuration
+curl http://localhost:8888/statistics/health
+make logs-seaweedfs | grep -i "store\|foundationdb"
+```
+
+**Interpretation:**
+- No SeaweedFS keys in FDB: Directory index writes failing; check filer logs for write errors
+- AssignVolume errors: Volume assignment blocked; check master status and disk space
+- Filer health errors: Configuration or connectivity issue; restart services and verify filer.toml
+
+**Recovery:**
+- If fresh data: restart services (`make clean && make setup`)
+- If production data: ensure volume assignment works, check disk space on data nodes
+
+## CI Integration
+
+For continuous integration:
+
+```bash
+# CI test suite
+make ci-test    # Unit + integration tests
+make ci-e2e     # Full end-to-end test suite
+```
+
+The tests are designed to be reliable in CI environments with:
+- Automatic service startup and health checking
+- Timeout handling for slow CI systems
+- Proper cleanup and resource management
+- Detailed error reporting and logs
+
+## Performance Benchmarks
+
+Run performance benchmarks:
+
+```bash
+make test-benchmark
+
+# Sample expected results:
+# BenchmarkFoundationDBStore_InsertEntry-8    1000    1.2ms per op
+# BenchmarkFoundationDBStore_FindEntry-8      5000    0.5ms per op  
+# BenchmarkFoundationDBStore_KvOperations-8   2000    0.8ms per op
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+When adding new tests:
+
+1. Use the `//go:build foundationdb` build tag
+2. Follow the existing test structure and naming
+3. Include both success and error scenarios
+4. Add appropriate cleanup and resource management
+5. Update this README with new test descriptions

+# FoundationDB Filer Store Configuration Reference
+
+This document provides comprehensive configuration options for the FoundationDB filer store.
+
+## Configuration Methods
+
+### 1. Configuration File (filer.toml)
+
+```toml
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+api_version = 740
+timeout = "5s"
+max_retry_delay = "1s"
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs"
+```
+
+### 2. Environment Variables
+
+All configuration options can be set via environment variables with the `WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_` prefix:
+
+```bash
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_ENABLED=true
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_CLUSTER_FILE=/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_API_VERSION=740
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_TIMEOUT=5s
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_MAX_RETRY_DELAY=1s
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_DIRECTORY_PREFIX=seaweedfs
+```
+
+### 3. Command Line Arguments
+
+While not directly supported, configuration can be specified via config files passed to the `weed` command.
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Basic Options
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `enabled` | boolean | `false` | Enable the FoundationDB filer store |
+| `cluster_file` | string | `/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster` | Path to FoundationDB cluster file |
+| `api_version` | integer | `740` | FoundationDB API version to use |
+
+### Connection Options
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `timeout` | duration | `5s` | Transaction timeout duration |
+| `max_retry_delay` | duration | `1s` | Maximum delay between retries |
+
+### Storage Options
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `directory_prefix` | string | `seaweedfs` | Directory prefix for key organization |
+
+## Configuration Examples
+
+### Development Environment
+
+```toml
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/var/fdb/config/fdb.cluster"
+api_version = 740
+timeout = "10s"
+max_retry_delay = "2s"
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs_dev"
+```
+
+### Production Environment
+
+```toml
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+api_version = 740
+timeout = "30s"
+max_retry_delay = "5s"  
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs_prod"
+```
+
+### High-Performance Setup
+
+```toml
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+api_version = 740
+timeout = "60s"
+max_retry_delay = "10s"
+directory_prefix = "sw"  # Shorter prefix for efficiency
+```
+
+### Path-Specific Configuration
+
+Configure different FoundationDB settings for different paths:
+
+```toml
+# Default configuration
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs_main"
+
+# Backup path with different prefix
+[foundationdb.backup]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs_backup"
+location = "/backup"
+timeout = "120s"
+
+# Archive path with extended timeouts
+[foundationdb.archive]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs_archive"
+location = "/archive"
+timeout = "300s"
+max_retry_delay = "30s"
+```
+
+## Configuration Validation
+
+### Required Settings
+
+The following settings are required for FoundationDB to function:
+
+1. `enabled = true`
+2. `cluster_file` must point to a valid FoundationDB cluster file
+3. `api_version` must match your FoundationDB installation
+
+### Validation Rules
+
+- `api_version` must be between 600 and 740
+- `timeout` must be a valid duration string (e.g., "5s", "30s", "2m")
+- `max_retry_delay` must be a valid duration string
+- `cluster_file` must exist and be readable
+- `directory_prefix` must not be empty
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Invalid configurations will result in startup errors:
+
+```
+FATAL: Failed to initialize store for foundationdb: invalid timeout duration
+FATAL: Failed to initialize store for foundationdb: failed to open FoundationDB database
+FATAL: Failed to initialize store for foundationdb: cluster file not found
+```
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### Timeout Configuration
+
+| Use Case | Timeout | Max Retry Delay | Notes |
+|----------|---------|-----------------|-------|
+| Interactive workloads | 5s | 1s | Fast response times |
+| Batch processing | 60s | 10s | Handle large operations |
+| Archive operations | 300s | 30s | Very large data sets |
+
+### Connection Pool Settings
+
+FoundationDB automatically manages connection pooling. No additional configuration needed.
+
+### Directory Organization
+
+Use meaningful directory prefixes to organize data:
+
+```toml
+# Separate environments
+directory_prefix = "prod_seaweedfs"      # Production
+directory_prefix = "staging_seaweedfs"   # Staging
+directory_prefix = "dev_seaweedfs"       # Development
+
+# Separate applications
+directory_prefix = "app1_seaweedfs"      # Application 1
+directory_prefix = "app2_seaweedfs"      # Application 2
+```
+
+## Security Configuration
+
+### Cluster File Security
+
+Protect the FoundationDB cluster file:
+
+```bash
+# Set proper permissions
+sudo chown root:seaweedfs /etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster
+sudo chmod 640 /etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster
+```
+
+### Network Security
+
+FoundationDB supports TLS encryption. Configure in the cluster file:
+
+```
+description:cluster_id@tls(server1:4500,server2:4500,server3:4500)
+```
+
+### Access Control
+
+Use FoundationDB's built-in access control mechanisms when available.
+
+## Monitoring Configuration
+
+### Health Check Settings
+
+Configure health check timeouts appropriately:
+
+```toml
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+timeout = "10s"  # Reasonable timeout for health checks
+```
+
+### Logging Configuration
+
+Enable verbose logging for troubleshooting:
+
+```bash
+# Start SeaweedFS with debug logs
+WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_ENABLED=true weed -v=2 server -filer
+```
+
+## Migration Configuration
+
+### From Other Filer Stores
+
+When migrating from other filer stores:
+
+1. Configure both stores temporarily
+2. Use path-specific configuration for gradual migration
+3. Migrate data using SeaweedFS tools
+
+```toml
+# During migration - keep old store for reads
+[leveldb2]
+enabled = true
+dir = "/old/filer/data"
+
+# New writes go to FoundationDB
+[foundationdb.migration]
+enabled = true
+location = "/new"
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+```
+
+## Backup Configuration
+
+### Metadata Backup Strategy
+
+```toml
+# Main storage
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs_main"
+
+# Backup storage (different cluster recommended)
+[foundationdb.backup]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/backup_fdb.cluster"
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs_backup"
+location = "/backup"
+```
+
+## Container Configuration
+
+### Docker Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Docker environment
+WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_ENABLED=true
+WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_CLUSTER_FILE=/var/fdb/config/fdb.cluster
+WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_API_VERSION=740
+```
+
+### Kubernetes ConfigMap
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: seaweedfs-config
+data:
+  filer.toml: |
+    [foundationdb]
+    enabled = true
+    cluster_file = "/var/fdb/config/cluster_file"
+    api_version = 740
+    timeout = "30s"
+    max_retry_delay = "5s"
+    directory_prefix = "k8s_seaweedfs"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting Configuration
+
+### Debug Configuration
+
+```toml
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+timeout = "60s"        # Longer timeouts for debugging
+max_retry_delay = "10s"
+directory_prefix = "debug_seaweedfs"
+```
+
+### Test Configuration
+
+```toml
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/tmp/fdb.cluster"  # Test cluster
+timeout = "5s"
+directory_prefix = "test_seaweedfs"
+```
+
+## Configuration Best Practices
+
+### 1. Environment Separation
+
+Use different directory prefixes for different environments:
+- Production: `prod_seaweedfs`
+- Staging: `staging_seaweedfs` 
+- Development: `dev_seaweedfs`
+
+### 2. Timeout Settings
+
+- Interactive: 5-10 seconds
+- Batch: 30-60 seconds
+- Archive: 120-300 seconds
+
+### 3. Cluster File Management
+
+- Use absolute paths for cluster files
+- Ensure proper file permissions
+- Keep backup copies of cluster files
+
+### 4. Directory Naming
+
+- Use descriptive prefixes
+- Include environment/application identifiers
+- Keep prefixes reasonably short for efficiency
+
+### 5. Error Handling
+
+- Configure appropriate timeouts
+- Monitor retry patterns
+- Set up alerting for configuration errors
+
+## Configuration Testing
+
+### Validation Script
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Test FoundationDB configuration
+
+# Check cluster file
+if [ ! -f "$WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_CLUSTER_FILE" ]; then
+    echo "ERROR: Cluster file not found: $WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_CLUSTER_FILE"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+# Test connection
+fdbcli -C "$WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_CLUSTER_FILE" --exec 'status' > /dev/null
+if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
+    echo "ERROR: Cannot connect to FoundationDB cluster"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+echo "Configuration validation passed"
+```
+
+### Integration Testing
+
+```bash
+# Test configuration with SeaweedFS
+cd test/foundationdb
+make check-env
+make test-unit
+```

+# FoundationDB Filer Store
+
+This package provides a FoundationDB-based filer store for SeaweedFS, offering ACID transactions and horizontal scalability.
+
+## Features
+
+- **ACID Transactions**: Strong consistency guarantees with full ACID properties
+- **Horizontal Scalability**: Automatic data distribution across multiple nodes
+- **High Availability**: Built-in fault tolerance and automatic failover
+- **Efficient Directory Operations**: Optimized for large directory listings
+- **Key-Value Support**: Full KV operations for metadata storage
+- **Compression**: Automatic compression for large entry chunks
+
+## Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **FoundationDB Server**: Install and configure a FoundationDB cluster
+2. **FoundationDB Client Libraries**: Install libfdb_c client libraries
+3. **Go Build Tags**: Use the `foundationdb` build tag when compiling
+
+### Building SeaweedFS with FoundationDB Support
+
+```bash
+go build -tags foundationdb -o weed
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+Add the following to your `filer.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[foundationdb]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+api_version = 740
+timeout = "5s"
+max_retry_delay = "1s"
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs"
+```
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+| Option | Description | Default | Required |
+|--------|-------------|---------|----------|
+| `enabled` | Enable FoundationDB filer store | `false` | Yes |
+| `cluster_file` | Path to FDB cluster file | `/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster` | Yes |
+| `api_version` | FoundationDB API version | `740` | No |
+| `timeout` | Operation timeout duration | `5s` | No |
+| `max_retry_delay` | Maximum retry delay | `1s` | No |
+| `directory_prefix` | Directory prefix for organization | `seaweedfs` | No |
+
+### Path-Specific Configuration
+
+For path-specific filer stores:
+
+```toml
+[foundationdb.backup]
+enabled = true
+cluster_file = "/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster"
+directory_prefix = "seaweedfs_backup"
+location = "/backup"
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Configure via environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_ENABLED=true
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_CLUSTER_FILE=/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_API_VERSION=740
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_TIMEOUT=5s
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_MAX_RETRY_DELAY=1s
+export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_DIRECTORY_PREFIX=seaweedfs
+```
+
+## FoundationDB Cluster Setup
+
+### Single Node (Development)
+
+```bash
+# Start FoundationDB server
+foundationdb start
+
+# Initialize database
+fdbcli --exec 'configure new single ssd'
+```
+
+### Multi-Node Cluster (Production)
+
+1. **Install FoundationDB** on all nodes
+2. **Configure cluster file** (`/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster`)
+3. **Initialize cluster**:
+   ```bash
+   fdbcli --exec 'configure new double ssd'
+   ```
+
+### Docker Setup
+
+Use the provided docker-compose.yml in `test/foundationdb/`:
+
+```bash
+cd test/foundationdb
+make setup
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Optimal Configuration
+
+- **API Version**: Use the latest stable API version (720+)
+- **Directory Structure**: Use logical directory prefixes to isolate different SeaweedFS instances
+- **Transaction Size**: Keep transactions under 10MB (FDB limit)
+- **Batch Operations**: Use transactions for multiple related operations
+
+### Monitoring
+
+Monitor FoundationDB cluster status:
+
+```bash
+fdbcli --exec 'status'
+fdbcli --exec 'status details'
+```
+
+### Scaling
+
+FoundationDB automatically handles:
+- Data distribution across nodes
+- Load balancing
+- Automatic failover
+- Storage node addition/removal
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+```bash
+cd weed/filer/foundationdb
+go test -tags foundationdb -v
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+```bash
+cd test/foundationdb
+make test
+```
+
+### End-to-End Tests
+
+```bash
+cd test/foundationdb
+make test-e2e
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Connection Failures**:
+   - Verify cluster file path
+   - Check FoundationDB server status
+   - Validate network connectivity
+
+2. **Transaction Conflicts**:
+   - Reduce transaction scope
+   - Implement retry logic
+   - Check for concurrent operations
+
+3. **Performance Issues**:
+   - Monitor cluster health
+   - Check data distribution
+   - Optimize directory structure
+
+### Debug Information
+
+Enable verbose logging:
+
+```bash
+weed -v=2 server -filer
+```
+
+Check FoundationDB status:
+
+```bash
+fdbcli --exec 'status details'
+```
+
+## Security
+
+### Network Security
+
+- Configure TLS for FoundationDB connections
+- Use firewall rules to restrict access
+- Monitor connection attempts
+
+### Data Encryption
+
+- Enable encryption at rest in FoundationDB
+- Use encrypted connections
+- Implement proper key management
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Maximum transaction size: 10MB
+- Single transaction timeout: configurable (default 5s)
+- API version compatibility required
+- Requires FoundationDB cluster setup
+
+## Support
+
+For issues specific to the FoundationDB filer store:
+1. Check FoundationDB cluster status
+2. Verify configuration settings
+3. Review SeaweedFS logs with verbose output
+4. Test with minimal reproduction case
+
+For FoundationDB-specific issues, consult the [FoundationDB documentation](https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/).

+Package foundationdb provides a FoundationDB-based filer store for SeaweedFS.
+
+FoundationDB is a distributed ACID database with strong consistency guarantees
+and excellent scalability characteristics. This filer store leverages FDB's
+directory layer for organizing file metadata and its key-value interface for
+efficient storage and retrieval.
+
+The referenced "github.com/apple/foundationdb/bindings/go/src/fdb" library
+requires FoundationDB client libraries to be installed.
+So this is only compiled with "go build -tags foundationdb".

+// IMPORTANT DESIGN NOTE - DeleteFolderChildren and Transaction Limits:
+//
+// FoundationDB imposes strict transaction limits:
+//   - Maximum transaction size: 10MB
+//   - Maximum transaction duration: 5 seconds
+//
+// The DeleteFolderChildren operation always uses batched deletion with multiple small transactions
+// to safely handle directories of any size. Even if called within an existing transaction context,
+// it will create its own batch transactions to avoid exceeding FDB limits.
+//
+// This means DeleteFolderChildren is NOT atomic with respect to an outer transaction - it manages
+// its own transaction boundaries for safety and reliability.
