Summary

Fixes multiple inaccuracies across the fundamentals documentation section — stale defaults, non-existent flags, and incorrect port labels.

Changes by file

fundamentals/basic-usage.md

  • --torrent.download.rate: corrected default from 128mb512mb; reworded description to reflect the flag caps bandwidth rather than overclock it

fundamentals/performance-tricks.md

  • Same download rate default fix: 128MB512mb

fundamentals/default-ports.md

  • Port 30304 (sentry) labelled eth/67eth/69

fundamentals/logs.md

  • --verbosity default was shown as 2 (numeric level); corrected to info (the actual string value used by the flag)

fundamentals/security.md

  • Removed mention of --txpool.nolocals=true — this flag does not exist in Erigon

fundamentals/multiple-instances.md

  • Removed --db.growth.step from example code block — this flag does not exist in Erigon
  • Fixed env var: ERIGON_SNAPSHOT_MADV_RNDSNAPSHOT_MADV_RND (appears twice)

fundamentals/modules/rpc-daemon.md

  • Removed --grpc from the Erigon command in the Remote mode table — the flag is not available on the main erigon binary
  • Added a clarifying note explaining that the internal gRPC interface is exposed automatically via --private.api.addr

fundamentals/modules/downloader.md

  • --torrent.download.rate default: "128mb""512mb"
  • --torrent.upload.rate default: "4mb""16mb"
  • --torrent.download.slots: marked as DEPRECATED, default corrected 12832

fundamentals/configuring-erigon/README.md

  • --discovery.v4 default: truefalse
  • Removed --discovery.parallelism (non-existent flag)
  • Removed --discovery.ban-threshold (non-existent flag, also had a markdown typo)
  • --log.dir.verbosity default: infodbug
  • Consolidated two duplicate commitment-history flags into one combined entry
  • Added --override.amsterdam to General Options (narrative + help listing)
  • Added MCP Server section: --mcp.addr, --mcp.port (narrative + help listing)
  • Added FCU section: --fcu.timeout, --fcu.background.prune, --fcu.background.commit (narrative + help listing)
