Maintaining Single-user Write Mount Points
On Linux clients, Single-user Write volume mount points are not maintained after a
client reboot. In order to maintain your volume mount points after a client reboot, an
entry for the volume must be made in the /etc/fstab file.
Entries can be made in the /etc/fstab for mounting volumes automatically at startup.
The easiest way to do this is through the volume label. If you formatted the volume
using mkfs.xfs –L, the volume label should be the name of the TerraBlock volume.
In order to view the fstab file use the following command: cat /etc/fstab. The fstab
file can also be viewed using a graphical text tool, such as Gedit.
The fstab file will look something like this:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=Video /mnt/Video auto defaults 0 0
LABEL=Graphics /mnt/Graphics auto defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder1 auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
The above example shows two volumes mounted by label – “Video” and “Graphics”.
Be aware that there are two tab stops between the label description and the mount
point, and also between the mount point and the File System (‘auto’ in the example
above). The remainder of the file is single tabs.
As ROOT, using a text editor such as VI (shell) or Gedit (graphical UI), add an entry
in the /etc/fstab file for the volume you wish to automatically mount at start up. Use
the above Video and Graphics entries as an example.
Configuring Autodesk Stone & Wire for Standard FS
Once the volume has a mount point, a Specific directory will be created on the
volume (Managed Media Cache Directory) and that directory will be declared to the
Stone&Wire software as a Standard FS Partition in the stone+wire.cfg file.
It is recommended that the root level not be used as the designated standard FS
target, rather a descriptive hierarchy, such as /mnt/Video1/Smoke/p7. The “p7”
directory may designate the volume as [Partition7] in the stone+wire.cfg file.
Multiple standard FS volumes may be added to the stone+wire.cfg file by duplicating
the configuration listing (from [Partition7] on) and appending to the bottom of the
file with proper changes.
For more information, see the Autodesk Stone and Wire 2008 - Filesystem and
Networking Guide, page 47 “Setting up a Standard Filesystem”.
A sample of a stone+wire.cfg file is shown below with paths as described above.
