Commands Reference, Volume 3
Mounts a CacheFS
directory..
mkcfsmnt -d
PathName -t {
nfs | cdrom} ] [ -h
RemoteHost ] [ -p {
RemoteDirectory | LocalDeviceName } ] [ -c CacheDirectory ] [ -o MountOptions ] [ -b BackingFileSystem ] [ -I |
-B | -N ]
The mkcfsmnt command constructs an entry that will be appended
to the /etc/filesystems file, thus making a file system available
for use as a cache file system. If the mount is to be permanent, this
entry will remain. If the mount is temporary, the flags will be used
directly for the mount command. CacheFS file systems are
used to cache accesses to backing file systems. Backing file systems
are generally NFS mounts.
| -d PathName
| Specifies the mount point for the cache directory.
|
| -t
| Selects file systems to be cached.
- nfs
- Specifies that the CacheFS file system is backed by an NFS mount.
- cdrom
- Specifies that the CacheFS file system is backed by a CDROM file
system. (Currently not supported.)
|
| -h RemoteHost
| Specifies the NFS server that is exporting the directory.
|
| -p
RemoteDirectory
| Specifies the directory that is mounted on the path name
specified. This is commonly a remote file system that will be mounted
via NFS or a local device name in the case of CDROM (Currently not
supported.)
|
| -c
CacheDirectory
| Specifies the location of the CacheFS file system. This must have
been previously created by execution of the cfsadmin
command.
|
| -d
RemoteDirectory
| Specifies the directory that is mounted on the path name
specified.
|
| -o
MountOptions
| Specifies a comma-separated string of mount options that are dependent on
the backing file system type. For instance, if it is NFS, the options
would be those typically specified by the -o Options string to
mount. See the mount command documentation for the
acceptable values.
|
| -b
BackingFileSystem
| Specifies a backing file system if it is already mounted. If this
is not specified, then the command will do the mount itself on a temporary
mount point. If this is not specified, then RemoteHost and
RemoteDirectory must be specified.
|
| -I
| Causes an entry to be added to the /etc/filesystems
file. The directory is not mounted.
|
| -B
| Adds an entry to the /etc/filesystems file and attempts to
mount the file system. This flag is the default.
|
| -N
| Mounts the directory with the options specified, but does not modify the
/etc/filesystems file.
|
To specify a CacheFS mount, enter:
/usr/sbin/mkcfsmnt -t nfs -d /usr/share/man -p /usr/share/man -h host1 -c /cache/cache1 -o ro, intr -N
In this example, the mkcfsmnt command caches the remote
directory /usr/share/man that resides on host1 on the
local /usr/share/man directory. The cache is kept in
/cache/cache1, which was created with the cfsadmin
command. CacheFS takes care of doing the NFS backing mount, since the
-b flag has not been specified.
/usr/sbin/mkcfsmnt -t nfs -d /usr/share/man -p /usr/share/man -h host1 -c /cache/cache1 -b /backs/man -o ro, intr -N
In this example, the mkcfsmnt command caches the remote
directory /usr/share/man residing on host1 on the local
/usr/share/man directory. The cache is kept in
/cache/cache1, which was created with the cfsadmin
command. The backing file system has already been mounted on
/backs/man.
| /etc/filesystems
| Lists the remote file systems to be mounted during the system
restart.
