+* ``gc-cache-capacity``: Datastore GC least recently used cache capacity:
+  Allows to control the cache capacity used to keep track of chunks for which
+  the access time has already been updated during phase 1 of garbage collection.
+  This avoids multiple updates and increases GC runtime performance. The
+  capacity is set as the given value multiplied by 1024. Higher values can
+  reduce GC runtime at the cost of increase memory usage, setting the value to 0
+  disables caching.
 
 If you want to set multiple tuning options simultaneously, you can separate them
 with a comma, like this:
