FSTab - file /etc/fstab

Parse the /etc/fstab file into a list of lines. Each line is a dictionary of fields, named according to their definitions in man fstab:

  • fs_spec - the device to mount

  • fs_file - the mount point

  • fs_vfstype - the type of file system

  • fs_mntops - the mount options as a dictionary

  • fs_freq - the dump frequency

  • fs_passno - check the filesystem on reboot in this pass number

  • raw_fs_mntops - the mount options as a string

  • raw - the RAW line which is useful to front-end

fs_freq and fs_passno are recorded as integers if found, and zero if not present.

fs_mntops is wrapped as a as a insights.parsers.mount.MountOpts object. For instance, the option rw in rw,dmode=0500 may be accessed as mnt_row_info.rw with the value True, and the dmode can be accessed as mnt_row_info.dmode with the value 0500.

This data, as above, is available in the data property:

  • Wrapped as an FSTabEntry, each column can also be accessed as an attribute with the same name.

The FSTabEntry for each mount point is also available via the FSTab.mounted_on property; the data is the same as that stored in the FSTab.data list.

Bases: Parser

Parse the content of /etc/fstab.

Typical content of the fstab looks like:

data

a list of parsed fstab entries as FSTabEntry objects.

Type:

list

mounted_on

a dictionary of FSTabEntry objects keyed on mount point.

Type:

dict

fsspec_of_path(path)[source]

Return the device name if longest-matched mount-point of path is found, else None. If path contains any blank, pass it in directly or escape with ‘ ‘, eg: ‘/VM TOOLS/cache’ or ‘/VM TOOLS/cache’

parse_content(content)[source]

Parse each line in the file /etc/fstab.

search(**kwargs)[source]

Search for the given key/value pairs in the data. Please refer to the insights.parsers.keyword_search() function documentation for a more complete description of how to use this.

Fields that can be searched (as per man fstab):

  • fs_spec: the block special or remote filesystem path or label.

  • fs_file: The mount point for the filesystem.

  • fs_vfstype: The file system type.

  • fs_mntops: The mount options. Since this is also a dictionary, this can be searched using __contains - see the examples below.

  • fs_freq: The dump frequency - rarely used.

  • fs_passno: The pass for file system checks - rarely used.

Examples

Search for the root file system:

fstab.search(fs_file='/')

Search for file systems mounted from a LABEL declaration

fstab.search(fs_spec__startswith='LABEL=')

Search for file systems that use the ‘uid’ mount option:

fstab.search(fs_mntops__contains='uid')

Search for XFS file systems using the ‘relatime’ option:

fstab.search(fs_vfstype='xfs', fs_mntops__contains='relatime')
