NAME
Sys::Filesystem::Linux - Return Linux filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem
SYNOPSIS
See Sys::Filesystem.
INHERITANCE
Sys::Filesystem::Linux
ISA Sys::Filesystem::Unix
ISA UNIVERSAL
METHODS
version ()
Return the version of the (sub)module.
ATTRIBUTES
The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object.
fs_spec
Dscribes the block special device or remote filesystem to be mounted.
For ordinary mounts it will hold (a link to) a block special device node (as created by mknod(8)) for the device to be
mounted, like /dev/cdromaXX or aXX/dev/sdb7aXX. For NFS mounts one will have <host>:<dir>, e.g., aXXknuth.aeb.nl:/aXX.
For procfs, use aXXprocaXX.
Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate the (ext2 or xfs) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or volume
label (cf. e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)), writing LABEL=<label> or UUID=<uuid>, e.g., aXXLABEL=BootaXX or
aXXUUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6aXX. This will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk changes the
disk device name but not the filesystem volume label.
fs_file
Describes the mount point for the filesystem. For swap partitions, this field should be specified asaXXnone. If the name of the mount
point contains spaces these can be escaped asaXX 40.
fs_vfstype
Dscribes the type of the filesystem. Linux supports lots of filesystem types, such as adfs, affs, autofs, coda, coherent,
cramfs, devpts, efs, ext2, ext3, hfs, hpfs, iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, ntfs, proc, qnx4, reiserfs, romfs, smbfs,
sysv, tmpfs, udf, ufs, umsdos, vfat, xenix, xfs, and possibly others. For more details, see mount(8). For the filesystems
currently supported by the running kernel, see /proc/filesystems. An entry swap denotes a file or partition to be used for swapping,
cf. swapon(8). An entry ignore causes the line to be ignored. This is useful to show disk partitions which are currently unused.
fs_mntops
Describes the mount options associated with the filesystem.
It is formatted as a comma separated list of options. It contains at least the type of mount plus any additional options
appropriate to the filesystem type. For documentation on the available options for non- nfs file systems, see mount(8). For
documentation on all nfs-specific options have a look at nfs(5). Common for all types of file system are the options
aXXaXXnoautoaXXaXX (do not mount when 'mount -a' is given, e.g., at boot time), aXXaXXuseraXXaXX (allow a user to mount), and
aXXaXXowneraXXaXX (allow device owner to mount), and aXXaXX_netdevaXXaXX (device requires network to be available). The
aXXaXXowneraXXaXX and aXXaXX_netdevaXXaXX options are Linux-specific. For more details, see mount(8).
fs_freq
Used for these filesystems by the dump(8) command to determine which filesystems need to be dumped. If the fifth field is not
present, a value of zero is returned and dump will assume that the filesystem does not need to be dumped.
fs_passno
Used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be
specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked
sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the
hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not
need to be checked.
