Hi Wei, Integrating with fstab is pretty easy. For example, you add a line like this to /etc/fstab: hdfs /mnt/hadoop fuse server=hadoop-name,port=9000,rdbuffer=32768,allow_other 0 0 In general, PROG_NAME MOUNT_POINT fuse OPTIONS 0 0 Then, fuse will execute the following: /usr/bin/$PROG_NAME $MOUNT_POINT $OPTIONS In my case, it was: /usr/bin/hdfs /mnt/hadoop -o rw,server=hadoop-name,port=9000,rdbuffer=32768,allow_other Brian On May 3, 2011, at 12:39 AM, Yang, Wei wrote: > think about it again, I think if we put it in fstab, it will probably hard to define those xrootdfs and/or fuse options and env vars. I tried fstab before and will take a look at it again. For now it is probably easier to just use a init.d script. > > regards, > Wei Yang | [log in to unmask] | 650-926-3338(O) > > > > > On May 2, 2011, at 1:48 PM, Brian Bockelman wrote: > >> >> Follow-up Comment #1, bug #81761 (project xrootd): >> >> Wait - >> >> Isn't xrootdfs the fuse mount for xrootd?
