HP XC System Software Administration Guide Version 2.1

The fstab.proto f ile is compr ised of individual
portions that correlate to the nodes. The
first portion is designated a s ALL; a ll the line
s in this portion are copied to the /etc/fstab
file of all the nodes. Subsequent portions are
designated for a specified node or nodes.
Subsequent po rtion s must begin with the lowe
st numbered node in the HP XC system and
progress to the head node, which is the highes
t numbered n ode. The lines in each portion are
copied to the corresponding nod e. Example 1
4-1 depicts the fstab.proto file.
Example 14-1: Unedited fstab.proto File
# This file contains additional file system information
# for all # the nodes in the XC cluster. When a node
# boots, this file will be parsed and from it a new
# /etc/fstab will be created.
#
# Do not edit /etc/fstab! Edit this file
# (/hptc_cluster/etc/fstab) instead.
#
# How this file is organized:
#
# * Comments begin with # and continue to the end of line
#
# * Each non-comment line is a line that may be copied
# to /etc/fstab verbatim.
#
# * Some comments begin with #% followed by a node
# selector to indicate that the following lines
# until the next #% or the end of file (whichever
# comes first) will only be copied to the /etc/fstab
# on the indicated node or nodes. A node selector
# is either a single node name, like n12 or nh,
# or a list of nodes in a condensed notation, like
# n[1-5,7]. In the condensed notation, the node
# prefix is followed by a set of square brackets.
# Inside the square brackets are comma separated
# terms. Each term is either a range i-j, indicating
# nodes i to j inclusive, or a single node number.
# There can be any number of terms within the square
# brackets.
#
# * One comment can begin with "#% ALL". The lines
# following it until the next #% line or the end
# of file (if there are no more #% lines) will be
# copied to the fstab on every node.
#
#% ALL
# Put lines here that you want copied directly to the
# /etc/fstab on every node
#
#% n1
# Put lines here that you want copied directly to the
# /etc/fstab on node 1
#
Lines that begin with the characters #% are treated specially. For example, the portion of the file
that begins with the text #% ALL precedes the mounting instructions that apply to all the nodes
in the HP XC system . The subsequent lines can be any o f the following:
