Mr. Junjiro R. Okajima, please take a look at the following shell function and the two lines from /proc/mounts:
handle_filesystems() { # $1 = new journal commit time in seconds while read DEV MOUNT FSTYPE REST; do command_exists "handle_${FSTYPE}" || continue printf "Setting journal commit time for %s to %d..." \ "$MOUNT" "$1" "handle_${FSTYPE}" $MOUNT $1 && echo Done. || \ echo Failed. done < /proc/mounts } /dev/sda11 /tmp/jailcache.ro.var ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0 varonaufs /tmp/jail/var aufs rw,relatime,si=89f694af8e016535 0 0 - First line: while read DEV MOUNT FSTYPE REST; After read DEV MOUNT FSTYPE REST the variables contains the following values: DEV == /dev/sda11 MOUNT == /tmp/jailcache.ro.var FSTYPE == ext3 REST == rw,relatime,... command_exists "handle_ext3" || continue | true The function handle_ext3() exists in the | script journal-commit. \|/ print "Setting journal commit time for %s to %d..." \ "/tmp/jailcache.ro.var" "0" "handle_ext3" /tmp/jailcache.ro.var 0 && echo Done. || echo Failed. The function name handle_ext3 is the name of the function handle_ext3(). This function is a part of the script journal-commit: handle_ext3() { # $1 = filesystem to remount # $2 = commit time remount_fs $1 "commit=${2}" } The output of handle_ext3() with $1 = /tmp/jailcache.ro.var and $2 = 0 is: remount_fs /tmp/jailcache.ro.var "commit=0" remount_fs() { # $1 = filesystem to remount # $2 = mount option to change mount -o remount,$2 $1 } The output of remount_fs() with $1 = /tmp/jailcache.ro.var and $2 = "commit=0" is: mount -o remount,commit=0 /tmp/jailcache.ro.var The above command is called only if the contents of FSTYPE is ext3. - Second line: while read DEV MOUNT FSTYPE REST; After read DEV MOUNT FSTYPE REST the variables contains the following values: DEV == varonaufs MOUNT == /tmp/jail/var FSTYPE == aufs REST == rw,relatime,... command_exists "handle_aufs" || continue | false The function handle_aufs() doesn't exists in | the script journal-commit. \|/ while read DEV MOUNT FSTYPE REST; <- read the next line from /proc/mounts In this case a remount isn't executed.
