Errors produced by FSinfo
=========================
The following table documents the errors and warnings which FSinfo
may produce.
can't open FILENAME for writing
Occurs if any errors are encountered when opening an output file.
unknown host attribute
Occurs if an unrecognised keyword is used when defining a host.
unknown filesystem attribute
Occurs if an unrecognised keyword is used when defining a host's
filesystems.
not allowed '/' in a directory name
When reading the configuration input, if there is a filesystem
definition which contains a pathname with multiple directories for
any part of the mountpoint element, and it is not a single
absolute path, then this message will be produced by the parser.
unknown directory attribute
If an unknown keyword is found while reading the definition of a
hosts's filesystem mount option.
unknown mount attribute
Occurs if an unrecognised keyword is found while parsing the list
of static mounts.
" expected
Occurs if an unescaped newline is found in a quoted string.
unknown \ sequence
Occurs if an unknown escape sequence is found inside a string.
Within a string, you can give the standard C escape sequences for
strings, such as newlines and tab characters.
FILENAME: cannot open for reading
If a file specified on the command line as containing
configuration data could not be opened.
end of file within comment
A comment was unterminated before the end of one of the
configuration files.
host field "FIELD-NAME" already set
If duplicate definitions are given for any of the fields with a
host definition.
duplicate host HOSTNAME!
If a host has more than one definition.
netif field FIELD-NAME already set
Occurs if you attempt to define an attribute of an interface more
than once.
malformed IP dotted quad: ADDRESS
If the Internet address of an interface is incorrectly specified.
An Internet address definition is handled to inet_addr(3N) to see
if it can cope. If not, then this message will be displayed.
malformed netmask: NETMASK
If the netmask cannot be decoded as though it were a hexadecimal
number, then this message will be displayed. It will typically be
caused by incorrect characters in the NETMASK value.
fs field "FIELD-NAME" already set
Occurs when multiple definitions are given for one of the
attributes of a host's filesystem.
mount tree field "FIELD-NAME" already set
Occurs when the FIELD-NAME is defined more than once during the
definition of a filesystems mountpoint.
mount field "FIELD-NAME" already set
Occurs when a static mount has multiple definitions of the same
field.
no disk mounts on HOSTNAME
If there are no static mounts, nor local disk mounts specified for
a machine, this message will be displayed.
HOST:DEVICE needs field "FIELD-NAME"
Occurs when a filesystem is missing a required field. FIELD-NAME
could be one of `fstype', `opts', `passno' or `mount'.
FILESYSTEM has a volname but no exportfs data
Occurs when a volume name is declared for a file system, but the
string specifying what machines the filesystem can be exported to
is missing.
sub-directory DIRECTORY of DIRECTORY-TREE starts with '/'
Within the filesystem specification for a host, if an element
DIRECTORY of the mountpoint begins with a `/' and it is not the
start of the tree.
HOST:DEVICE has no mount point
Occurs if the `mount' option is not specified for a host's
filesystem.
HOST:DEVICE has more than one mount point
Occurs if the mount option for a host's filesystem specifies
multiple trees at which to place the mountpoint.
no volname given for HOST:DEVICE
Occurs when a filesystem is defined to be mounted on `default', but
no volume name is given for the file system, then the mountpoint
cannot be determined.
HOST:mount field specified for swap partition
Occurs if a mountpoint is given for a filesystem whose type is
declared to be `swap'.
ambiguous mount: VOLUME is a replicated filesystem
If several filesystems are declared as having the same volume
name, they will be considered replicated filesystems. To mount a
replicated filesystem statically, a specific host will need to be
named, to say which particular copy to try and mount, else this
error will result.
cannot determine localname since volname VOLUME is not uniquely defined
If a volume is replicated and an attempt is made to mount the
filesystem statically without specifying a local mountpoint,
FSinfo cannot calculate a mountpoint, as the desired pathname
would be ambiguous.
volname VOLUME is unknown
Occurs if an attempt is made to mount or reference a volume name
which has not been declared during the host filesystem definitions.
volname VOLUME not exported from MACHINE
Occurs if you attempt to mount the volume VOLUME from a machine
which has not declared itself to have such a filesystem available.
network booting requires both root and swap areas
Occurs if a machine has mount declarations for either the root
partition or the swap area, but not both. You cannot define a
machine to only partially boot via the network.
unknown volname VOLUME automounted [ on <name> ]
Occurs if VOLUME is used in a definition of an automount map but
the volume name has not been declared during the host filesystem
definitions.
not allowed '/' in a directory name
Occurs when a pathname with multiple directory elements is
specified as the name for an automounter tree. A tree should only
have one name at each level.
DEVICE has duplicate exportfs data
Produced if the `exportfs' option is used multiple times within the
same branch of a filesytem definition. For example, if you attempt
to set the `exportfs' data at different levels of the mountpoint
directory tree.
sub-directory of DIRECTORY-TREE is named "default"
`default' is a keyword used to specify if a mountpoint should be
automatically calculated by FSinfo. If you attempt to specify a
directory name as this, it will use the filename of `default' but
will produce this warning.
pass number for HOST:DEVICE is non-zero
Occurs if DEVICE has its `fstype' declared to be `swap' or
`export' and the fsck(8) pass number is set. Swap devices should
not be fsck'd. See FSinfo filesystems fstype
dump frequency for HOST:DEVICE is non-zero
Occurs if DEVICE has its `fstype' declared to be `swap' or
`export' and the `dump' option is set to a value greater than
zero. Swap devices should not be dumped.
