Re: RFC: Blivet & mounting
* Jan Safranek <jsafrane(a)redhat.com> [Jan 31. 2013 15:57]:
What OpenLMI needs:
- parse /proc/mounts and provide list of mounts with their options
- parse /etc/fstab and provide list of persistent mounts with their
options (which can be different to /proc/mounts, someone might re-mount
something with different options!)
- re-mount a mount with different options
- create new mount, both permanent (with fstab entry) and 'temporary'
- unmount anything (incl. removing entry from fstab).
Jan,
I'd like to point you to libstorage (https://github.com/openSUSE/libstorage)
as a generic library for storage management. It's written in C++,
rather complete, and also provides Ruby and Python bindings. One of
the downsides is its use of Blocxx, which probably can be fixed if
needed.
See also http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Libstorage for a more general
overview.
SUSEs smis-providers (at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=smis-providers&projec...)
also use libstorage and can serve as a guideline.
Hth,
Klaus
