 # My attempts at explaining flags above + --mount for fuse
 # --mount - fuse for /ipfs and /ipns, see
 #   https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/fuse.md as it requires
 #   some specific config, I am not setting it as default here.
-# --routing=dhtclient - not serving requests to the network saving bandwidth
+# --routing=dht - server requests to the network possibly using more
+#   bandwidth but also making content more findable (as opposed to
+#   dhtclient, not serving requests to the network saving bandwidth)
 # --enable-gc - automatic cleaning of unpinned files per rules in ipfs
 #   config, I think by default two hours or when the repo gets bigger than
 #   10G
