filesystem mount cmd shows option as MIXED intead of accesspolicy=mixed

Hi all,

does anybody knows the difference of two options bellow ?

system 1
[root@SCS200 ~]#  server_mount server_5 |grep -i ARQTRANSF
APL_CIFS_NFS_ARQTRANSF on /APL_CIFS_NFS_ARQTRANSF uxfs,perm,rw,accesspolicy=MIXED


system 2
[root@DCS200 ~]# server_mount server_4 |grep -i ARQTRANSF
SM_SFS205_APL_CIFS_NFS_ARQTRANSF on /SM_SFS205_APL_CIFS_NFS_ARQTRANSF uxfs,perm,rw,mixed

Thanks in advance

There is no syntax check for the options of server_mount.

The system2 output is the consequence of a missing accesspolicy= in the mount options of the original server_mount command

So in order to get the output for your system2, you need to issue a server_mount command like:

$ server_mount server_4 -o mixed SM_SFS205_APL_CIFS_NFS_ARQTRANSF /SM_SFS205_APL_CIFS_NFS_ARQTRANSF

The difference is,

for system1 it is:

server_mount server_5 -o accesspolicy=MIXED APL_CIFS_NFS_ARQTRANSF ...

for system2:

server_mount server_4 -o mixed SM_SFS205_APL_CIFS_NFS_ARQTRANSF ...

Because of the missing syntax check, you can put anything behind the -option parameter.

I do not think FS SM_SFS205_APL_CIFS_NFS_ARQTRANSF is using accesspolicy=mixed, but is using NATIVE(default)

Hi Peter,

thanks for your answer. You are correct ... since there is not an option called "mixed" the option was ignored. Last night I simulated in our LAB with same result.

We can umount with -p option and re-mount with accesspolicy=mixed. Is there anything more to do after mount with accesspolicy=mixed? Do we need run anything to convert this FS from native to mixed mode ?

Thanks for you correct answer!!

There is nothing which needs to get converted.

And there is also no need for unmounting the fs.

In order the correct the mount options, follow emc246374 (-ignore switch in server_mount)
