From: Royce Lv <lvroyce@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Abstract a helper function to parse cmd result. Usage: (1)get cmd result with subprocess.call or subprocess.Popen (2) call pass_cmd_output to get formated outputs Example: blkid = subprocess.Popen(["cat", "/proc/mounts"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) outs = blkid.communicate()[0] output_items= ['path', 'mnt_point', 'type', 'option'] utils.parse_cmd_output(outs, output_items) Sample output: [{'path': '/dev/sda8', 'type': 'ext4', 'option': 'rw,relatime,data=ordered', 'mnt_point': '/home'}, {'path': 'localhost:/home/royce/isorepo', 'type': 'nfs4', 'option': 'rw...addr=127.0.0.1', 'mnt_point': '/mnt'}] To prevent future mount of nfs path will hang, we will try nfs path with a quick mount, if this check fails, report warning to user.
