What's the easier way to make the local HDD available?

Hi all,

What's the easiest way to allow all clients access to their local HDD's? I guess an issue may be the different HDD's that are available so there is no one magic entry to can make to the fstab, or is there?

At the moment I've created a shortcut (to a script) on the client to mount the local HDD, but this would have to be changed per client depending on the name of the HDD under /dev?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Tim.

Hi,

If the client HDD is the same device name, said /dev/sdb1
then you can add a file /opt/drbl/conf/client-append-fstab

check the example at /opt/drbl/conf/client-append-fstab.example
and reference http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/
by searching keryword client-append-fstab

If the client HDD is not the same device, here is the script
and setting that I used in some special case:

# wget http://trac.nchc.org.tw/grid/export/99/drbl-hadoop-0.1/drbl-hadoop
# wget http://trac.nchc.org.tw/grid/export/99/drbl-hadoop-0.1/drbl-hadoop-mount-disk

Edit drbl-hadoop with the device name and mount point in most common

Ex.
DISK=/dev/sda1                  ### Device Name
MOUNT=/var/lib/hadoop       ### Mount Point

# /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-cp-host drbl-hadoop /etc/default/
# /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-cp-host drbl-hadoop-mount-disk /etc/init.d/
# /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-client-service drbl-hadoop-mount-disk on

SSH into the DRBL client with different configure
Edit /etc/default/drbl-hadoop

Ex.
DISK=/dev/sda2
MOUNT=/var/lib/hadoop

My 2 cents.

Jazz
