11.2.3 Setting vfstab

In the GFS Shared File System, it is necessary to code an entry that is to be mounted on /etc/vfstab of all the nodes that share a file system. Also, the information that is specified for the mount options of /etc/vfstab is used as the mount option when the mount command is executed. Specify a directory for the mount point field of /etc/vfstab. It will become mount point when the argument of the mount point of mount_sfcfs(1M) is omitted. Specify a directory of each node. The mount options described in /etc/vfstab for the same file system must be consistent on any nodes configuring the file system. Other than the mount option, noauto can be specified in the mount options field. Specify the noauto option when mounting is not to be performed when the node is started.

Examples of /etc/vfstab entries are shown below:

[Table When mounting in rw mode at startup of the node:]
