Chapter 7: Configure PSFS Filesystems 113

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.

mx fs unmount

[

--persistent

] [

--active

]

ALL_SERVERS|<server>

...

The Linux umount command. Be sure to specify the mountpoint, such as

/mnt/data1, not the partition.

umount <mountpoint>

Persistent Mounts

When you mount a filesystem on a server, you can specify that it should

be remounted automatically whenever the server is rebooted. When you

configure a filesystem mount in this manner, it is a “persistent” mount.

The Edit Persistent Mounts window allows you to remove the

“persistent” status from a filesystem and/or to mount the filesystem.

Persistent Mounts on a Server

To see all persistent mounts on a particular server, select that server on

the Servers window, right-click, and select Edit Persistent Mounts.
