gfs2_lm_mount(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 gfs2_lm_mount(9) — like, the actual kernel API manual, bestie

okay so welcome to the glow-up of the gfs2_lm_mount page ✨ this is a kernel API moment, and honestly? it's giving "short and iconic." we're not doing a whole novel here, we're doing a vibe check on one little function that handles mounting a locking protocol. no cap, that's the whole thing. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gfs2_lm_mount — mount a locking protocol 🦋

like. that's it. that's the function. she mounts a locking protocol. main character energy fr fr 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int gfs2_lm_mount (struct gfs2_sbd *sdp , int silent );

she takes two things and she gives you back an int, periodt. 💖

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • sdp — the filesystem 👑 like, the whole struct gfs2_sbd * situation, the filesystem in question, the one we're doing all this for. she's the moment.
  • silent — if 1, don't complain if the FS isn't a GFS2 fs 🙈 — literally just "if this is set to 1, keep it cute and don't yell about it when the filesystem turns out not to be a GFS2 filesystem." quiet mode. shhh. 🤫

⭐ RETURN ⭐

errno — yep, that's the return value. errno. that's the whole return section. short king. 💀

lowkey important bestie: the page says errno and nothing else, so don't go reading extra meaning into it. we report exactly what the manual reports, ngl. 🧚

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go look at all of these, iykyk 👀 — the file lives at ./fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c and the whole friend group is:

squad goals fr fr 🫶 literally read them all, they're all part of the same little GFS2 friend group living in ./fs/gfs2. 🔥

🎀 the sign-off 🎀

and that's the page, bestie!! this one came from ./fs/gfs2 — the source — and it's dated October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under gfs2_lm_mount(9). so like, when you cite it, cite it right. mwah. 💜🍓

not me being obsessed with a function that's, like, four lines long 😭 iconic behavior honestly. go mount that locking protocol. slay. 💅✨
