VOB tag mount options

The Mount Options tab of the VOB Tag Properties dialog box displays the mount options of a VOB tag in the host's ClearCase registry.

General options

Allow mount all: Allows cleartool mount -all to mount a public VOB tag.

Read-write VOB: Mounts the VOB in read-write mode. When cleared, mounts the VOB read-only.

Hard mount: Mounting blocks until successful completion or until interrupted. When cleared, mounting times out and returns an error on failure.

Interrupts disabled: MVFS operations cannot be stopped by the interrupt character. When cleared, the interrupt character is enabled.

MVFS cache options

Name caching: Allows the MVFS to cache recent name translations for files and directories.

Attribute caching: Allows the MVFS to cache information about recently accessed file system objects.

Default mount options

Timeout: Specifies the time allowed for each mount operation before it fails.

Number of retries: Specifies the number of times an unsuccessful mount operation is retried.

Directory lookup timeouts

Minimum value: Specifies the minimum timeout value for directory name lookups in the MVFS attribute cache.

Maximum value: Specifies the maximum timeout value for directory name lookups in the MVFS attribute cache.

Filename lookup timeouts

Minimum value: Specifies the minimum timeout value for file name lookups in the MVFS attribute cache.

Maximum value: Specifies the maximum timeout value for file name lookups in the MVFS attribute cache.

UNIX-Only options

Allow setUID: Allows setUID execution. When cleared, does not allow setUID execution.

Windows-Only options

Split pool map: Supports access by Windows hosts to remote storage pools on UNIX VOB hosts. The value is a single-line text string that simulates links, mapping each remote pool from the VOB storage directory to the pool location. For example:

s\sdft\=\\gamma\pools\s\libvob.1\|c\cdft\=\\gamma\pools\c\libvob.1\

Paths are UNC names, a backslash terminates each path, and a vertical bar separates each mapping.

Miscellaneous options

Other options: Specifies other operating-system-specific options.
