[Users] Storage domain mount options

Hello Guys, I would like to ask you help for the following problem I am facing right now. As we know, on the Storage tab we can configure storage domains in many types. I am using NFS, and when configuring a such export on the Advanced Parameters section we can only adjust the NFS version, Retrans and Timeout. After a successful configuration setup, on all hypervisors I have the mount share declared attached. The result of mount for the share datastore looks like below: nas01.net:/datastore01/nas01.ISO on /rhev/data-center/mnt/nas01.net:_datastore01_nas01.ISO type nfs (rw,soft,nosharecache,timeo=10,retrans=6,vers=4,addr=10.20.30.10,clientaddr=10.20.30.102) All good and sound but how can I tune the NFS mounting command, for example let's say adding noatime value to the mount option list ? Many thanks, Alex.

New domain ---> Advanced Parameters.

Dear Shu, Exactly what I was saying, in that section we can only change in the Advanced Parameters the NFS version, the Retransmissions and the Timeout. Therefore I see exactly no field for additional mount options. As I know there is a thread on the mailing list about the new features that should be included in the 3.2 version release. I think would be useful to include this one too to the GUI, but again my question, how could this be modified in the stable 3.1 release ? Alex On 01/08/2013 03:31 PM, Shu Ming wrote:

Sorry, was not seeing these. I am afraid you can not append other options, for neither ovirt engine nor VDSM accepts other options than Retransmissions and the Timeout.
Therefore I see exactly no field for additional mount options.

Hi, first, please open an RFE for it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=oVirt second, you can set it in vdsm.conf configuration file (/etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf). as for how to do it, check out sample config file distributed with the rpm: /usr/share/doc/vdsm-4.9.6/vdsm.conf.sample make sure to restart vdsmd service on each hypervisor afterwards.
