Subj: 	Re: ode submit tree re-mounts needed

   Developers using ODE,

   Since the submit trees for the ode pool were moved to a new physical
   device on buffer yesterday, you may find that you can no longer access
   the submit trees on your systems, such as agosmaint and agosminor.

Glad I wasn't in yesterday.  Almost glad I forgot to mail a submit
request for yesterday.

I'm sure the last couple of days have be distracting, but I mount the
agosmaint disks via /etc/fstab so I don't have to do odemounts in addition
to kinits and workons.  If you guys can announce file system moves
ahead of time or offer a script that could go in crontab to verify that
fstab is accurate, I and probably other people would appreciate it.

While there were hints that things were moving to a bigger file system
on buffer, I don't recall seeing anything that said a mount path was
changing.

Friedman, OSF/UNIX SDE 381-1548" <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Subj: Re: ode submit tree re-mounts needed I installed a system yesterday, and one of the things I routinely do is go through the /usr/sde/CLIENT** file for instructions on setting up ode. This time it pointed me to a script which I simply ran, and kinit's and workon's worked first time. It also plugs in an odemount which runs when you boot, so you can specify what backing trees you desire. To see what you are currently mounting, you only need do: rcmgr get ODE_ODEMOUNT_STRING and to change what you want to mount, do: rcmgr set ODE_ODEMOUNT_STRING "agosmaint smpsb" I think this is preferable over the fstab lines due to the abstraction of where the filesystem really resides. I was burned many times until I started trusting odemount. I think the release engineering team has done a great job, not only on this tool, but in managing the ode environment in general. I shudder to think how far we've come since the old 'sccs' days.

We do try to avoid changing physical mount points without good reason and good notice. thanks... -josh ------- Return-Path: zap Received: by wasted.zk3.dec.com (5.65/DEC-USSG-ZK3-ULTRIX-09/27/91); id AA17557; Thu, 10 Sep 1992 20:59:29 -0400 Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1992 20:59:29 -0400 From: zap (Carolyn Hurley, DTN:381-0755, M/S:ZKO3-3/V08) To: jmf Subject: regarding my previous mail Cc: zap Status: RO Josh, I'm not entirely sure that the work around I state works correctly...
