Advanced Bash−Scripting Guide Filesystem mount Mount a filesystem, usually on an external device, such as a floppy or CDROM. The file /etc/fstab provides a handy listing of available filesystems, partitions, and devices, including options, that may be automatically or manually mounted. The file /etc/mtab shows the currently mounted filesystems and partitions (including the virtual ones, such as /proc). mount −a mounts all filesystems and partitions listed in /etc/fstab, except those with a noauto option. At bootup, a startup script in /etc/rc.d (rc.sysinit or something similar) invokes this to get everything mounted. mount −t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # Mounts CDROM mount /mnt/cdrom # Shortcut, if /mnt/cdrom listed in /etc/fstab This versatile command can even mount an ordinary file on a block device, and the file will act as if it were a filesystem. Mount accomplishes that by associating the file with a loopback device. One application of this is to mount and examine an ISO9660 image before burning it onto a CDR. [40] Example 13−5. Checking a CD image # As root... mkdir /mnt/cdtest # Prepare a mount point, if not already there. mount −r −t iso9660 −o loop cd−image.iso /mnt/cdtest # Mount the image. # "−o loop" option equivalent to "losetup /dev/loop0" cd /mnt/cdtest # Now, check the image. ls −alR # List the files in the directory tree there. # And so forth. umount Unmount a currently mounted filesystem. Before physically removing a previously mounted floppy or CDROM disk, the device must be umounted, else filesystem corruption may result. umount /mnt/cdrom # You may now press the eject button and safely remove the disk. sync The automount utility, if properly installed, can mount and unmount floppies or CDROM disks as they are accessed or removed. On laptops with swappable floppy and CDROM drives, this can cause problems, though. Forces an immediate write of all updated data from buffers to hard drive (synchronize drive with buffers). While not strictly necessary, a sync assures the sys admin or user that the data just changed will survive a sudden power failure. In the olden days, a sync; sync (twice, just to make absolutely sure) was a useful precautionary measure before a system reboot. At times, you may wish to force an immediate buffer flush, as when securely deleting a file (see Example 12−42) or when the lights begin to flicker. losetup Sets up and configures loopback devices. Chapter 13. System and Administrative Commands 228
Advanced Bash−Scripting Guide Example 13−6. Creating a filesystem in a file SIZE=1000000 # 1 meg head −c $SIZE < /dev/zero > file # Set up file of designated size. losetup /dev/loop0 file # Set it up as loopback device. mke2fs /dev/loop0 # Create filesystem. mount −o loop /dev/loop0 /mnt # Mount it. # Thanks, S.C. mkswap Creates a swap partition or file. The swap area must subsequently be enabled with swapon. swapon, swapoff Enable / disable swap partitition or file. These commands usually take effect at bootup and shutdown. mke2fs Create a Linux ext2 filesystem. This command must be invoked as root. Example 13−7. Adding a new hard drive #!/bin/bash # Adding a second hard drive to system. # Software configuration. Assumes hardware already mounted. # From an article by the author of this document. # in issue #38 of "Linux Gazette", http://www.linuxgazette.com. ROOT_UID=0 E_NOTROOT=67 # This script must be run as root. # Non−root exit error. if [ "$UID" −ne "$ROOT_UID" ] then echo "Must be root to run this script." exit $E_NOTROOT fi # Use with extreme caution! # If something goes wrong, you may wipe out your current filesystem. NEWDISK=/dev/hdb # Assumes /dev/hdb vacant. Check! MOUNTPOINT=/mnt/newdisk # Or choose another mount point. fdisk $NEWDISK mke2fs −cv $NEWDISK1 # Check for bad blocks & verbose output. # Note: /dev/hdb1, *not* /dev/hdb! mkdir $MOUNTPOINT chmod 777 $MOUNTPOINT # Makes new drive accessible to all users. # Now, test... # mount −t ext2 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/newdisk # Try creating a directory. # If it works, umount it, and proceed. # Final step: # Add the following line to /etc/fstab. # /dev/hdb1 /mnt/newdisk ext2 defaults 1 1 Chapter 13.
