---------------------------------------- Feature #5682: Add mount provider for AIX https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5682#change-95655 * Author: Hector Rivas * Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: mount * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: aix, customer * Branch: https://github.com/keymon/puppet/tree/feature/master/5682 ---------------------------------------- Puppet does not provides a correct provider for the mount type on AIX. A new provider must be created. Mountpoints in AIX are managed by the commands: crfs, lsfs, rmfs, chfs (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cmds/doc/aixcmds1/crfs.htm). For nfs mountpoints the commands mknfsmnt, chnfsmnt, rmnfsmnt and chnfsmnt are provided, but they can partially be managed with former commands. The commands update the file /etc/filesystems that has following syntax: /usr: dev = /dev/hd2 vfs = jfs2 log = /dev/hd8 mount = automatic check = false type = bootfs vol = /usr free = false /var: dev = /dev/hd9var vfs = jfs2 log = /dev/hd8 mount = automatic check = false type = bootfs vol = /var free = false **IMPORTANT**: crfs (create) and rmfs (remove), if it is a local filesystem, will create and format (using jfs/jfs2) the needed Logical Volume, or directly remove the Logical Volume losing data. Two approaches: 1. Use command line tools and operate as expected by AIX commands: Operate on the LV. In that case type should be extended with new parameters (Volume Group, LV name, size...) 2. Modify directly /etc/filesystems files, and manage the Logical Volumes using a LVM type (as in other OS) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
