mount.lustre − start a Lustre client or target service
mount −t lustre [−o options] directory
mount.lustre is used to start a Lustre client or target service. This program should not be called directly; rather it is a helper program invoked through mount(8) as above. Lustre clients and targets are stopped by using the umount(8) command.
There are two forms for the device option, depending on whether a client or a target service is started:
<mgsspec>:/<fsname>
mounts the Lustre filesystem named fsname on the client by contacting the Management Service at mgsspec on the pathname given by directory. The format for mgsspec is defined below. A mounted client filesystem appears in fstab(5) and is usable like any local filesystem and provides a full POSIX-compilant interface.
disk_device
starts the target service defined by the mkfs.lustre command on the physical disk disk_device. A mounted target service filesystem is only useful for df(1) operations and appears in fstab(5) to show the device is in use.
<mgsspec>:=<mgsnode>[:<mgsnode>]
The mgs specification may be a colon-separated list of nodes:
<mgsnode>:=<mgsnid>[,<mgsnid>]
each node may be specified by a comma-separated list of NIDs.
In addition to the standard options listed in mount(8), Lustre understands the following client-specific options:
flock |
Enable full flock support, coherent across all client nodes. |
localflock
Enable local flock support, using only client-local flock (faster, for applications that require flock but do not run on multiple nodes).
noflock
Disable flock support entirely. Applications calling flock will get an error.
user_xattr
Enable get/set of extended attributes by regular users. See the attr(5) manual page.
nouser_xattr
Disable use of extended attributes by regular users. Root and system processes can still use extended attributes.
acl |
Enable POSIX Access Control List support. See the acl(5) manual page. |
||
noacl |
Disable Access Control List support. |
In addition to the standard mount options and backing disk type (e.g. ext3) options listed in mount(8), Lustre understands the following server-specific options:
nosvc |
Only start the MGC (and MGS, if co-located) for a target service, and not the actual service. |
exclude=ostlist
Start a client or MDT with a (colon-separated) list of known inactive OSTs.
abort_recov
Abort client recovery and start the target service immediately.
mount -t lustre cfs21@tcp0:/testfs /mnt/myfilesystem
Start a client for the Lustre filesystem ’testfs’ at the mount point /mnt/myfilesystem. The Management Service is running on a node reachable from this client via the nid cfs21@tcp0.
mount -t lustre /dev/sda1 /mnt/test/mdt
Start the Lustre metadata target service from /dev/sda1 on mountpoint /mnt/test/mdt.
mount -t lustre -L testfs-MDT0000 -o abort_recov /mnt/test/mdt
Start the testfs-MDT0000 service (by using the disk label), but abort the recovery process.
Not very many mount options can be changed with -o remount. Please report all bugs to Sun Microsystems using http://bugzilla.lustre.org/
mount.lustre is part of the Lustre(7) filesystem package and is available from Sun Microsystems, Inc.
