Managing Serviceguard Sixteenth Edition, March 2009

If the package needs to mount and unmount a large number of filesystems, you can
improve performance by carefully tuning this parameter during testing (increase it a
little at time and monitor performance each time).
fs_mount_retry_count
The number of mount retries for each file system. Legal value is zero or any greater
number. The default is zero.
If the mount point is busy at package startup and fs_mount_retry_count is set to zero,
package startup will fail.
If the mount point is busy and fs_mount_retry_count is greater than zero, the startup
script will attempt to kill the user process responsible for the busy mount point (fuser
-ku) and then try to mount the file system again. It will do this the number of times
specified by fs_mount_retry_count.
If the mount still fails after the number of attempts specified by fs_mount_retry_count,
package startup will fail.
This parameter is in the package control script for legacy packages. See “Configuring
a Legacy Package” (page 338).
fs_umount_retry_count
The number of umount retries for each file system. Replaces FS_UMOUNT_COUNT,
which is still supported in the package control script for legacy packages; see
“Configuring a Legacy Package” (page 338).
Legal value is any greater number greater than zero. The default is 1. Operates in the
same way as fs_mount_retry_count (page 281).
fs_name
This parameter, in conjunction with fs_directory, fs_type, fs_mount_opt, fs_umount_opt,
and fs_fsck_opt, specifies a filesystem that is to be mounted by the package. Replaces
LV, which is still supported in the package control script for legacy packages.
fs_name must specify the block devicefile for a logical volume.
Filesystems are mounted in the order specified in this file, and unmounted in the reverse
order.
NOTE: A volume group must be defined in this file, using vg (page 279), for each
logical volume specified by an fs_name entry.
See “File system parameters” (page 280), and the comments in the FILESYSTEMS section
of the configuration file, for more information and examples. See also “Logical Volume
and File System Planning ” (page 160), and the mount (1m) manpage.
