💖 SFSMOUNT.CFG(5) — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about sfsmount.cfg, the config file for the sfsmount command. this is section 5 of the manual (5 = file formats, iykyk), and it is genuinely so simple you'll be obsessed. ✨

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

the vibes are, and I quote, flexible like this:

OPTION,OPTION,OPTION,...

or like this:

OPTION

or even, plot twist, like this:

PATH

and the # character starts comments. that's it. that's the whole syntax. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: sfsmount.cfg defines the default mountpoint and the default sfsmount-specific mount options for the sfsmount command. it's literally the file that says "hey, when nobody tells you otherwise, do this."

you've got options (pun fully intended, I'm hilarious) for how you write your options in there:

  • you can put them all on one line as a comma separated list of options, or
  • you can give one option per line.

both are valid. both are iconic. choose your fighter. 🥊

now, important: options that are not sfsmount-specific will be ignored. so don't come crying to this file when your sfsmount-unrelated flags do nothing. it's not their business, it's not their problem. 💀

and the default mount point? that gets its own separate line, and you give it the full path. no shortcuts, no half-paths, the whole thing. also: any line starting with the # character is ignored. comments stay winning. 🎀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

here's a whole example that ate and left no crumbs:

#
# Default Options
#
sfsmaster=192.168.1.1
sfspassword=changeme
#
# Default mount point
#
/mnt/saunafs

look at that structure. look at those comments being cute little section headers. the default mount point chilling at the bottom on its own line. chef's kiss. 👑

ok real talk for a sec: that sfspassword=changeme is literally the example password, bestie. please do not ship changeme to production. I'm not adding new rules here, I'm just begging. 🥺
