Hi there,
I mentioned earlier, but heard nothing back, so here it is again. What do
you people think about removing the MNTPOINT variables from the
configuration files?
This way we keep in the config files only information that actually
matters to drbd, and avoid the problem of the admin changing a mountpoint
in fstab and forgeting to change the right drbd file.
The only point where those variables are used is in datadisk when mounting
and umounting. Those actions can perfectly use the device instead of the
mount point, since the mount command will scan fstab anyway. datadisk will
ask for the device to be mounted, wherever that may be.
What do you people think? Any other ideas as to how we can trim drbd's
config files, while still keeping the current scheme?
The linuxconf module is ready, Daniel (one of the people working with
linuxconf here) is just awaiting my approval. I want to get any other such
modification into drbd before the module is released, and before too many
people start using it... :)
