Mounting a shared filesystem

Mounting to an instance

Only filesystems shared with the instance can be mounted. See Editing share settings.

Shared filesystems can only be mounted from the same location.

Replace:

• <SFS_NAME> with your mount directory name

• <PSEUDOPATH> with the filesystem pseudopath (it starts with /)

• <DC> with the location slug (example: fin-01)

1

Install NFS client tools (Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nfs-common

2

Create a mount directory

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/<SFS_NAME>

3

Mount the filesystem

sudo mount -t nfs -o nconnect=16 nfs.<DC>.datacrunch.io:<PSEUDOPATH> /mnt/<SFS_NAME>

4

Persist the mount in /etc/fstab (recommended)

grep -qxF 'nfs.<DC>.datacrunch.io:<PSEUDOPATH> /mnt/<SFS_NAME> nfs defaults,nconnect=16 0 0' /etc/fstab || echo 'nfs.<DC>.datacrunch.io:<PSEUDOPATH> /mnt/<SFS_NAME> nfs defaults,nconnect=16 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

Where to find the pseudopath

Open the filesystem in the console. Copy the Pseudopath field from the filesystem details.

Mounting to every node in a cluster

Replace <SFS_NAME> with the name of the directory you want to mount it to. Replace <PSEUDOPATH> with the filesystem's pseudopath. Replace <DC> with the datacenter location (ex: fin-01)

pdsh -a "sudo mkdir -vp /mnt/<SFS_NAME> && grep -qxF 'nfs.<DC>.datacrunch.io:<PSEUDOPATH> /mnt/<SFS_NAME> nfs defaults,nconnect=16 0 0' /etc/fstab || echo 'nfs.<DC>.datacrunch.io:<PSEUDOPATH> /mnt/<SFS_NAME> nfs defaults,nconnect=16 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab && sudo mount /mnt/<SFS_NAME>"
