I have a storage system that is broken for file storage. The block storage components still work and I am able to create a pool/lun and attach to a linux host.
I created a multi-TB LUN and have it connected to a linux host automatically during reboots

Currently, I'm managing a back-up service for multiple remote servers. Backups are written trough rsync, every back-up has it's own filecontainer mounted as a loop device. The main back-up partition is an 8T xfs formatted and the loop devices are between 100G and 600G, either ext2 or ext4 formatted. So, this is the Matryoshka-like solution simplified:

I'm trying to create a simple NFSv4 export. What I did so far:
My exports
file:
/srv/nfs4 <myipnet>/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,fsid=0,no_subtree_check)
/srv/nfs4/homes <myipnet>/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
I also created a bind like it should be done for NFSv4 in fstab
:
/home/nfshomes /srv/nfs4/homes none bind 0 0
Then on my client I added this line to the fstab

Some Docker images like postgres and gitlab/gitlab-ce require the ability to set permissions and ownerships on files and directories, however this does not appear to be supported on Azure Container Instances (see here, here, here) due to the file shares being mounted as CIFS (SMB) and the underlying file system appearing to be NTFS.
Is there any way to mount an Azure file share or blob storage to my cont ...
I had a drive that would seem to be mounted and busy no matter what I did. But since I didn't want to reboot the whole system, I ran echo 1 > /sys/block/sd*/device/delete
to force the kernel to "unplug" or unregister the drive.
Then I unplugged and replugged the SATA power cable of the disk, it showed up again in the system and worked as expected.
But what could I've done if I didn't have ...

I'm trying to understand problems that I get when I run my debootstrap

I would like to implement my own process into a CentOS7 operating system which automount an external storage (AVID ISIS for this example) at boot through systemd.
To do that, I scripted the mount procedure (because I cannot use fstab in this particular case, the avidfos command provided by AVID is needed) but I have noticed that my process failed at boot. When I run it just after the boot process ...

Once a while, I need to adjust mountpoints of a server and it is not always possible for me to reboot the system right away. Therefore, to check if my revision to /etc/fstab
is correct, usually I do mount -a
to see if there are any complaints. If there are no complaints, I believe my /etc/fstab
is okay and let the server team to reboot the server whenever they want.
However, I am keep wondering, i ...

I have a problem with an Oracle Cluster Filesystem (ocfs2) attached to a cluster of Ubuntu 20.04 servers. The file system keeps getting mounted as read-only. Unfortunately, I know the cause since the system was rebooted in the middle of a file copy. I'm not surprised there are issues with some of the files but I would even be happy to delete all of these files and re-copy, but the file system keeps g ...

I am running a Spectrum Scale filesystem on RHEL8 that is exported via NFSv3. The HA part is done by ctdb using 4 nodes (active-active), following this configuration guide by the samba/ctdb people: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_CTDB_for_Clustered_NFS.
In the nfs.conf there's a state-directory path for statd which points to a directory on the shared Spectrum Scale filesystem:

I'm on a Linux machine trying to mount an SMB share inside a big network via my Active Directory username:

I would like to mount only a folder of a Google Drive on a Linux CLI server. What would be the best way to do that? Share of this folder to a dedicated Google user, and mount it using that account? Is that even possible?
I have a fargate container running which needs access to files present on an EC2 instance. Both are in the same network and security groups do not restrict traffic.

I'm working with a Synology RAID1 system and deleted a file that wasn't yet backed up. To recover the file, and since an undelete approach seems to be impossible, my idea is to mount a single RAID1 disk in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and search for it, but I'm having some trouble with it. An internet search brought me to two related Q&A's here; they are of older date though and didn't work in my case.
