Remount option in Service guard

[Mike_305]

JRF,

Your little hint was good for my peanut brain. LOL

You *must* specify all of the mount options you want on the commandline when you issue the 'mount'.

Agreed JRF but when I did not had the entry in FSTAB it was giving me this error.

Command RAN: mount -o remount,nosuid /ora/lvol1

ERROR I got - mount: /ora/lvol1 was either ignored or not found in /etc/fstab

Not sure wht, I had to put the entry in FSTAB. Without that won't work.

Thanks for all your help. Enjoy the points.

HI (again) MJ:

> Agreed JRF but when I did not had the entry in FSTAB it was giving me this error.

Had you specified the 'special' or 'directory' argument in the commandline mount() the *absence* of an entry in 'fstab' should not have been a problem:

Given the syntax:

mount [-F vxfs] [-eQrV] [-o specific_options] { special | directory }

...the manpages note that "If you omit either special or directory, mount attempts to determine the missing value from an entry in /etc/fstab".

JRF,

No I was only putting following.

mount -o renount,nosuid /ora/lvol1.

May be that's why.

Cool, it's always plsure to learn form the guru's.

LOL,

Appreciate everyone's help and thanks JRF.

Shalom MJ,

I think your plan will work as well.

The remount will probably work, but do expect some interesting results on volume groups activated in shared mode.

It would clarify things for me if you explained why you need to check a mount and then change options.

Would it not be better to simply mount the file system in the chosen mode?

There is a risk of the package going down or failing over if you make a mistake. I'd be in contact with my user community before making changes in this regards.

HI MJ:

I meant to write:

# mount[-Fvxfs] [-eQrV] [-ospecific_options] special directory

....that is without the curly braces and the alternation of 'special' and 'directory' in the case we are discussing.
