### Metadata Backends

There are two different metadata backends in GekkoFS. The default one uses `rocksdb`, however an alternative based on `PARALLAX` from `FORTH` 

is available.

To enable it use the `-DGKFS_ENABLE_PARALLAX:BOOL=ON` option, you can also disable `rocksdb` with `-DGKFS_ENABLE_ROCKSDB:BOOL=ON`.

To enable it use the `-DGKFS_ENABLE_PARALLAX:BOOL=ON` option, you can also disable `rocksdb` with `-DGKFS_ENABLE_ROCKSDB:BOOL=OFF`.



Once it is enabled, `--dbbackend` option will be functional.
