Mount StorNext FS on Linux
To mount StorNext FS:
Step 1 Create the StorNext FS mount directory. This is the path by which users access the file
system. For example:
# mkdir /usr/clips
# chmod 777 /usr/clips
Step 2 Add the StorNext FS name to the /etc/fstab file. Use cvfs as the file system type.
For example:
# projA /usr/clips/ cvfs rw,threads=6 0 0
When the StorNext FS server starts up or reboots, StorNext FS automatically mounts any
file systems listed in the /etc/fstab file.
Step 3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to mount each StorNext FS on all client machines.
NOTE
If you do not want a cvfs mount point in your fstab file, manually start a file
system using the cvadmin command. Then, mount the file system using the
mount command, as shown in the following example:
During the boot process, the file systems listed in /etc/fstab tries to be
mounted. On the first mount attempt, StorNext FS fails because the cvfs-loadable
modules are loaded later in the boot process. These errors can be safely ignored,
and StorNext FS mounts toward the end of the system startup process.
