[Vectorlinux-devel] vl-hot mount arguments for different FS types

[Jose J. R. <jo...@gm...>]

I need feedback on the correct mount arguments for the different FS
types. So far I've discussed, tested and tweaked the following:
ReiseFS, NTFS, FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32. I don't have other FS type
partitions to test with, nor available hardware to repartition for
testing (I've used my working pendrive and USB hdd, or feedback in the
Forum). Here are the current mount arguments used by vl-hot. I already
know ext2 and ext3 are wrong, as feedback from Kocil tonight suggests.
Also, what other FS types do you think should be implemented?:


# Mount options:
USB_USER=3Droot
USB_GROUP=3Dusers
USB_UMASK=3D0111
USB_DMASK=3D0000
# consider adding the noatime option to save writes to flash mem:
MOUNTSYNC=3D"noatime"
# MOUNTSYNC=3D"sync,dirsync"=09=09#too friggin' slow!


function chooseMountOptions {
=09case $fsType in
=09Ext2)
=09=09MOUNT_OPTIONS=3D"-o

   *)

=09esac
}


Note: I changed the NTFS mounting from ro to rw tonight by request from Vec=
7.
