Mounting and unmounting Lustre file systems on client nodes4–6
[no]repeat sfsmount Specifies whether repeated attempts are to be made to
mount the file system (until the mount operation succeeds),
or if only one attempt is to be made to mount the file system.
When the sfsmount command is run interactively, the
default for this option is norepeat. When the sfsmount
command is used by the SFS service, the SFS service adds
the repeat mount option unless the /etc/sfstab or
/etc/sfstab.proto file specifies norepeat.
To reduce the possibility of the mount operation failing as a
result of the mount command timing out before the server
has had time to respond, HP recommends that you do not
specify the norepeat option in the /etc/sfstab or
/etc/sfstab.proto file.
[no]auto mount and sfsmount Specifies whether the file system is to be automatically
mounted at boot time. The default is auto (that is, the file
system is to be automatically mounted at boot time).
With the mount command, this option is used in directives
in the /etc/fstab file. With the sfsmount command,
the option is used in directives in the /etc/sfstab and
/etc/sfstab.proto files.
verbose sfsmount Invokes the lconf command with the --verbose option.
net=value[n] sfsmount This option is ignored by the sfsmount command. The
functionality of the option has been superseded by the use
of an appropriate options lnet setting in the
/etc/modprobe.conf.lustre or
/etc/modules.conf.lustre configuration file.
nal=value[n] sfsmount Same as the net option.
max_cached_mb=value sfsmount Specifies how much client-side cache space is to be used for
a file system.
max_dirty_mb=value sfsmount Specifies how much dirty data can be created on a client
node for each OST service. The default value of this
parameter is 32 (that is, 32MB).
max_rpcs_in_flight=
value
sfsmount Specifies the number of simultaneous RPCs that can be
outstanding to a server. If the max_dirty_mb option is
specified, the max_rpcs_in_flight option must have
the same value.
xxxxxxx sfsmount For mount operations using the lnet: or http: protocols,
passes the options unchanged to the mount command.
For mounts using the ldap: protocol, invokes the lconf or
sfslconf command with the --xxxxxxx option (where
xxxxxxx is any valid lconf option without an argument).
xxxxxxx=yyyyyyy sfsmount For mount operations using the lnet: or http: protocols,
passes the options unchanged to the mount command.
For mounts using the ldap: protocol, invokes the lconf or
sfslconf command with the --xxxxxxx yyyyyyy
option pair (where xxxxxxx is any valid lconf option
with a single argument).
server=name N/A Specifies the name of the HP SFS server on the external
network. This option is ignored by the sfsmount
command. It is good practice to use the fs option when
using the lnet: protocol; the option allows the
sfsconfig command to locate the appropriate HP SFS
server. See Appendix A for a description of the sfsconfig
command.
