Subj: Re: ODE roadblock (qaqc pool)
| My current problem is that I can not mount pool "qaqc"
| (Note: I am not operating as root on my workstation
| and I shouldn't have to be. Note also that even when I tried
| "mkdir /usr/qcsde; chmod 0777 /usr/qcsde" as root,
| I get the same message "troi ... Not owner"):
| ----------------------------------
Who says you don't need to be root? If you don't own that filesystem, you
can't mount it unless you are root. That's why you get the "Not owner" message.
| toast> odemount qaqc
| troi on /usr/qcsde: Not owner
| ----------------------------------
|
| I can, however (something works right today!),
| mount pool clustwav3os.nightly:
| ----------------------------------
| toast> odemount clustwav3os.nightly
| toast> mount
| ----------------------------------
|
| My suspicion is that the admin for these two pools is different
| and that the admin for the qaqc pool does not realize I am one of
| the very few folks that need to use that pool (it wasn't set up for
| Pearl Shiue to use yesterday either). Somehow I lucked out on
| the clustwav3os pool without having to complain to anyone.
Correct. clustwav3os and the other os and x backingtrees are part of the
Release Engineering production build environment. The qaqc pool is a private,
unconnected environment that the QA group uses for their own purposes. There
are ode_fstab entries for the pools, but they do want to create a
directory/mount point in usr to mount the pool on so unless you become root, I
don't see how you be able to do that.

| Thanks in advance for fixing permissions
| and notifying me when I can odemount qaqc
| on my local workstation. My $PRINCIPAL is "Sergei_Kucherov",
| and my login name is "kucherov".
root@cardinal [51] odemount -v qaqc
qaqc: QA/QC group TET pool
mount -r troi:/usr/qcsde /usr/qcsde
root@cardinal [52]
Works for me. Try it as root OK?
| Also, what is the proper procedure for mounting an *arbitrary* pool,
| such as goldminos onto my local workstation. Who do I have to ask to
| set things up so that it will work? Perhaps (just had this idea),
| I need simply to enable automounting in ODE (which I was trying to avoid,
| but I will do it if it helps me to mount any old pool whenever I want)??

You don't have to set anything else up. Just odemount it as root.

Thanks. "odemount qaqc" works on wasted on non-root (probably because it
is already [auto]mounted), but I need to be root on my workstation
to run odemount successfully, *even when* my mount point has 777 permissions
(that is the part I don't understand).
I won't worry about it further. Guess I'm too used to B1/MLS systems
where I had the mount privilege as an ordinary user.
