User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨ yes bestie, it's one of those pages

🌸 NAME 🌸

mogautomount — automatically discover and mount MogileFS disks 🦋

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

mogautomount [--verbose | -v]
mogautomount [--help | -h]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: you've got disks just sitting there, unmounted, unbothered, minding their own business. mogautomount says absolutely not 💅

It mounts all the unmounted filesystems whose labels look like "MogileDev<n>", and it drops them at /var/mogdata/dev<n>. And because it's a considerate queen 👑, it creates any directories it needs along the way.

The iconic part? You can do this at runtime without restarting mogstored — assuming your SCSI/SATA/etc controller lets you add new block devices at runtime. hot-plugging, but make it slay 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --help, -h — this help. the "hey what does this do" button 🫶
  • --verbose, -verbose — be verbose. spill the tea, tell me everything that's happening 🍓
  • --chmod-mountpoints — if a mogile device isn't mounted yet, check that the underlying filesystem has the directory set to be not readable or writable at all (chmod 0). This could help prevent mogstored from accidentally writing to the underlying filesystem. 🛡️ lowkey a safety feature, highkey important

😭 RETURN CODE 😭

  • 0 — success, or inaction because no action needed to happen. we love a chill outcome 💜
  • 1 — partial failure (some mounts succeed). it's giving "we tried our best" 🙈
  • 2 — total failure (things had to be done, but nothing was). it's giving 💀
