storage
Storage promises refer to disks and filesystem properties.
storage:
"/disk volume or mountpoint"
volume = volume_body,
...;
bundle agent storage
{
storage:
"/usr" volume => mycheck("10%");
"/mnt" mount => nfs("nfsserv.example.org","/home");
}
body volume mycheck(free) # reusable template
{
check_foreign => "false";
freespace => "$(free)";
sensible_size => "10000";
sensible_count => "2";
}
body mount nfs(server,source)
{
mount_type => "nfs";
mount_source => "$(source)";
mount_server => "$(server)";
edit_fstab => "true";
}
Attributes
Common Attributes
Common attributes are available to all promise types. Full details for common attributes can be found in the Common Attributes section of the Promise Types and Attributes page. The common attributes are as follows:
action
classes
comment
depends_on
handle
ifvarclass
meta
mount
Type: body mount
edit_fstab
Description: true/false add or remove entries to the file system table ("fstab")
The default behavior is to not place edits in the file system table.
Type: boolean
Default value: false
Example:
body mount example
{
edit_fstab => "true";
}
mount_type
Description: Protocol type of remote file system
Type: (menu option)
Allowed input range:
nfs
nfs2
nfs3
nfs4
Example:
body mount example
{
mount_type => "nfs3";
}
Notes: This field is mainly for future extensions.
mount_source
Description: Path of remote file system to mount.
This is the location on the remote device, server, SAN etc.
Type: string
Allowed input range: "?(/.*)
Example:
body mount example
{
mount_source "/location/disk/directory";
}
mount_server
Description: Hostname or IP or remote file system server.
Type: string
Allowed input range: (arbitrary string)
Example:
body mount example
{
mount_server => "nfs_host.example.org";
}
mount_options
Description: List of option strings to add to the file system table ("fstab").
This list is concatenated in a form appropriate for the filesystem. The options must be legal options for the system mount commands.
Type: slist
Allowed input range: (arbitrary string)
Example:
body mount example
{
mount_options => { "rw", "acls" };
}
unmount
Description: true/false unmount a previously mounted filesystem
Type: boolean
Default value: false
Example:
body mount example
{
unmount => "true";
}
volume
Type: body volume
check_foreign
Description: If true, verify storage that is mounted from a foreign system on this host.
CFEngine will not normally perform sanity checks on filesystems that are
not local to the host. If true it will ignore a partition's network
location and ask the current host to verify storage located physically
on other systems.
Type: boolean
Default value: false
Example:
body volume example
{
check_foreign => "true";
}
freespace
Description: Absolute or percentage minimum disk space that should be available before warning
The amount of free space that is promised on a storage device. Once this promise is found not to be kept (that is, if the free space falls below the promised value), warnings are generated. You may also want to use the results of this promise to control other promises.
Type: string
Allowed input range: [0-9]+[MBkKgGmb%]
Example:
body volume example1
{
freespace => "10%";
}
body volume example2
{
freespace => "50M";
}
sensible_size
Description: Minimum size in bytes that should be used on a sensible-looking storage device
Type: int
Allowed input range: 0,99999999999
Example:
body volume example
{
sensible_size => "20K";
}
sensible_count
Description: Minimum number of files that should be defined on a sensible-looking storage device.
Files must be readable by the agent. In other words, it is assumed that the agent has privileges on volumes being checked.
Type: int
Allowed input range: 0,99999999999
Example:
body volume example
{
sensible_count => "20";
}
scan_arrivals
Description: If true, generate pseudo-periodic disk change arrival distribution.
This operation should not be left 'on' for more than a single run (maximum once per week). It causes CFEngine to perform an extensive disk scan noting the schedule of changes between files. This can be used for a number of analyses including optimum backup schedule computation.
Type: boolean
Default value: false
Example:
body volume example
{
scan_arrivals => "true";
}
