ChironFS(8) Kernel/Filesystems ChironFS(8) NAME ChironFS - The Chiron Replication Filesystem version 1.1 SYNOPSIS chironfs [-?fhlqV] [--fuseoptions <fuse options>] [--help] [--version] [--log <logfilename>] [--quiet] [--ctl <controlfilesystempathname>] [:]path=[:]path[=[:]path[=[:]path...]] mount-point DESCRIPTION Options: --ctl, -c CONTROLFILESYSTEMPATHNAME By providing a mountpoint with this option, ChironFS will also mount a proc-like filesystem intended to enable administrative functions of the replication filesystem. Currently you can check the status of each replica and manually change it. So, you can force disable a replica and, if you have already reoperated a replica and synchronized it with the others, you may tell ChironFS to use it again. The control filesystem is composed of one directory for each replica, containing two files: the first is named "status" and contains a number "0" for replicas in good state or a number "2" if the replica is disabled and the data is inconsistent. By echoing "0" or "2" in this file you enable or disable the replica. The second file, named "check_chironfs.sh", is a script intended to run as a nagios plugin. If you want to use it, do not copy it to another path, because its contents change dynamically and it will not work in another path. You cannot change ownership or permission bits on any of the files/directories in this filesystem. To configure who can access it, change the ownership of its mount point BEFORE mounting it. ChironFS will use this ownership to all files and directories under it. --fuseoptions FUSE OPTIONS, -f FUSE OPTIONS Here you can set Fuse specific options: -d -o debug enable debug output (implies -f) -f foreground operation -s disable multi-threaded operation -o allow_other allow access to other users -o allow_root allow access to root -o nonempty allow mounts over non-empty file/dir -o default_permissions enable permission checking by kernel -o fsname=NAME set filesystem name -o max_read=N set maximum size of read requests -o hard_remove immediate removal (don't hide files) -o use_ino let filesystem set inode numbers -o readdir_ino try to fill in d_ino in readdir -o umask=M set file permissions (octal) -o umask=M set file permissions (octal) -o uid=N set file owner -o gid=N set file group -o entry_timeout=T cache timeout for names (1.0s) -o negative_timeout=T cache timeout for deleted names (0.0s) -o attr_timeout=T cache timeout for attributes (1.0s) See Fuse specific documentation for more help. --help, -h, -? Prints the help --log FILE, -l FILE Sets a log filename. If you don't set it, no log will be done at all --fsname NAME, -n NAME Defines the filesystem label name, for viewing it in df or mount --quiet, -q Do not print error messages to stderr, just set the exit codes. This does not affect logging --version, -V Prints version of the software [:]path=[:]path[=[:]path[=[:]path...]] This the "=" separated list of paths where the replicas will be stored. If a replica path is prefixed with a colon, then that replica will be considered slower than the others and the load balance algorithm will choose it for read only if the faster replicas fail. mount-point The mount-point through which the replicas will be accessed VERSION This man page is correct for version 1.1 of the Chiron File System. DIAGNOSTICS If you specify a log file using the -l or the --log command line option you will have critical failures reported in that file. There are two types of reports in this file: the failure report and the disable report. The fail- ure report indicates the action failed, the path of the replica that failed and the related errno message. The disable report just tell us that a replica is being disabled and so it's inconsistent. The reintegration process of the replica have to be made manually in this version. We suggest you use rsync to do it. After the data synchronization you have to remount the chiron filesystem. A replica is disabled ONLY IF a write operation was FAILED in the disabled replica AND the same operation was SUCCESFULL in an- other replica.
