3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 7: Configure PSFS Filesystems 102

•Use of the remount option to change the way a filesystem is mounted.

For example, you cannot use mount -o remount,rw to remount a

filesystem as read-write if it was originally mounted read-only.

The mount operation ignores any options that are not supported by the

PSFS filesystem. See mount_psfs(8) for more information.

Unmount a Filesystem

You can unmount a PSFS filesystem from either the Management Console

or the command line.

Unmount from the Management Console

The Management Console provides two ways to unmount a filesystem:

• To unmount a filesystem on one server, select the “

Mounted” entry for

that server on the Filesystems window, right-click, and select

Unmount. The filesystem will then be unmounted.

• To unmount a filesystem on more than one server, select the filesystem

on the Filesystems window, right-click, and select Unmount.When the

Unmount Filesystem window appears, select the servers where the

filesystem is to be unmounted.

Unmount from the Command Line

To unmount a filesystem from the command line, use one of the following

commands. PSFS filesystems cannot be forcibly unmounted.

The Matrix Server mx command. The --persistent argument removes the

persistent status from the filesystem mount; the --active argument

unmounts the filesystem now.
