erase of Exports File

[olivierl]

When i do an install or udapte fog it’s make a new exports file and i 've some share on my dev server and i have to edit the exports file after each update (it’s not really a probleme just a question).

[Tom Elliott]

Can you be more specific? I’m not understanding.

What export file is being erased?

[olivierl]

When i run the installer the file etc/exports is replaced by the following entries:

/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)
/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)

all other entries was deleted.

I’m sorry, I’m struggling to make me understand.I don’t speak english very well

Yes, the installer script creates a new empty (overwrites) exports-file. It’s not easy to write fail-proof script code that checks to see if other entries (or old FOG entries) are in that file. So we better create a clean new one. If you have a good idea how to better do this you are more than welcome to give us a hint.

Please make a backup copy of your file before running the installer. @Tom-Elliott Well, maybe we should do that like we do with /tftpboot…

Maybe use comments before/after the fog exports, like that :

/custom/config1

#FOG settings
/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)
/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)
#END FOG settings

/custom/config2

On each update store all other lines not in these comments

How about having the installer move any existing file to /etc/exports.old ?

[olivierl]

Hi
In your script before add share it can be this

if [ -f $nfsconfig ]
    then
              if  [ $(grep -c "##FOG-SHARE-START##" $nfsconfig) -ne 0 ]
                   then
                            sed -in  '/##FOG-SHARE-START##/,/##FOG-END-SHARE##/{//d;D}' $nfsconfig
              fi
fi

And add this configureNFS()

echo -e "##FOG-SHARE-START##\n$storageLocation *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)\n$storageLocation/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)\n##FOG-END-SHARE##" >> "$nfsconfig";

I am not tested for the moment

Hi
I have tested this norming and it’s worrking for my case.

What’s the actual code?

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott has added a new option in /opt/fog/.fogsettings

blexports=

1 means to rebuild /etc/exports
0 means do not rebuild it.

It’ll be better to have it automatically in the installer like the @olivierl solution.

[Tom Elliott]

@ch3i much appreciated but I meant the code for the sed statement not the function code that needs to be altered.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Tom-Elliott Code snippet was provided by olivierl in this thread (post number 11).

Hi,

It’'s work but before use it i think i need to verify before if the line "/image and image/dev"exist
To make the transition from a version that does not contain ##Fog–share-start##
to avoid having 2 times sharing appear in the file

[Wayne Workman]

Oh now I see what @olivierl did here… added those tags to the top and bottom.

##FOG-SHARE-START##
##FOG-END-SHARE##

That’s pretty smart.

But I don’t think the new blexports setting should be undone, but I think that this could be added…
In fact something similar is not a bad idea for all of the conf files that fog touches…
