Name Status, MountPoint, VolumeName | HP File System Extender (FSE)

2.1 NAME

•– –status

Show status of each FSE (server, client) daemon (service), i.e. conﬁguration–independent FSE (server, client) process. For details on FSE daemon (service) status info, see section FSE PROCESSES.

•– –mount

•– –umount

Linux systems: The command fse – –mount – –umount should not be used by the FSE administrator directly. It is called by fse–svc daemon (ser- vice) during a recovery of an HSM ﬁle system.

Windows systems: Use the command fse – –mount – –umount with great care. It should be used instead of mountvol command if you want to ad- ministrate an FSE partition (for example to enable or disable it).

–fse – –mountcommand will create a mount point MountPoint for the volume VolumeName and trigger HSM FS ﬁlter to connect to volume device ﬁle and start fse–hsm.

–fse – –umountcommand will stop fse–hsm and switch the HSM FS ﬁlter operation for managing accesses to the volume VolumeName

from Full Access Mode to Limited Access Mode. For information on Limited Access Mode, see description of the – –limit–accessoption.

•MountPoint

A directory path that represents the mount point to which the VolumeName NTFS volume will be mounted.

•VolumeName

Volume ID of an NTFS volume that stores an HSM ﬁle system on a Win- dows client. Volume ID is volume name without the \\?\ preﬁx and without the trailing backslash.

•– –dismount–ntfs

Windows systems only: Dismount the newly formatted NTFS volume VolumeName. Dismount is achieved by sending an appropriate code (the FSCTL_DISMOUNT_VOLUME ioctrl code) to the volume. Later, when the volume is mounted again, the HSM FS ﬁlter can attach to it before
