✨ cdist-type__mount ✨

okay bestie, gather round, we're talking about the manual page for cdist-type__mount — that's the cdist type that does filesystem mounts. (also, tiny detail, the original NAME line spells it cdit-type__mount, and honestly? we respect the typo era. it stays. 💅)

NAME 🎀

cdist-type__mount — manage filesystem mounts. that's it. that's the whole job. she mounts things. she unmounts things. she slays.

DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, this type manages filesystem mounts, and it can do it two whole ways: either through /etc/fstab or manually. pick your lane, babe. 🫶

REQUIRED PARAMETERS 🌸

None. nothing. zero. nada. you're free, you're unburdened, no required parameters, periodt. ✨

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 👑

  • device — the device you're mounting at path, default is 'none'. peep mount(8) for the deets.
  • dump — the value for the dump field in fstab, see fstab(5), defaults to 0. 🍓
this one gets ignored if you pass the nofstab parameter. she simply does not participate.
  • options — a comma separated string of options, see mount(8). commas are the whole vibe here.
  • pass — the value for the pass field in fstab, see fstab(5), defaults to 0.
same deal as dump: ignored when the nofstab parameter is given. she's sitting this one out too.
  • path — the mount point where you mount the device, see mount(8). defaults to __object_id. yes, the object id is the main character by default. 🌈
  • state — either present or absent. defaults to present. 🦋
  • type — vfstype, see mount(8).

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS 💖

  • nofstab — do not manage an entry in /etc/fstab. that's it, that's the flag. no fstab, no problem. 🙈

EXAMPLES ⭐

here's her in her natural habitat, mounting a whole directory like it's nothing:

__mount /some/dir \
   --device /dev/sdc3 \
   --type xfs \
   --options "defaults,ro"
   --dump 0 \
   --pass 1

and here she is doing the fuse thing with the whole mfsmount situation:

__mount /var/lib/one \
   --device mfsmount \
   --type fuse \
   --options "mfsmaster=mfsmaster.domain.tld,mfssubfolder=/one,nonempty,_netdev"

(these are copied exactly as they appear, ok? we do not touch the backslash-continuations. 💅)
