Need to remount file systems with different option without having to unmount and mount.

[John Goetz]

I have done this before forget the syntax. I need the following mount options: rw,suid,largefiles,delaylog,nodatainlog,
mincache=direct,convosync=direct 0 2

...only way I know to get the mount options to be their (and active) is to have them included at time of mount. You can set these options up, and the next time you umount and then mount, they'll be there for you.

But to get them to be 'active' on something already mounted....???....

Just a thought,

You can add the option -oremount to your mount command to remount an already mounted filesystem. Add the parameters you need to change the extra parameters you require.

Hi John,

Yes it can be done online. Your file system should be Vxfs for this. Make proper entried in /etc/vx/tunefstab file and apply changes using vxtunefs command.

man vxtunefs & tunefstab for details.

HTH,

mincache=direct,convosync=direct require OnlineJFS. Do you have it??

man mount_vxfs

Also there is -o remount, but for such things, you should be doing clean umount and then mount.
