Why do you think that MOUNT should be able to handle some format that it doesn't 
know about?

Perhaps if you wish to implement a FAT32 filesystem driver, then you should also 
implement the method(s) for mounting the filesystem.

I think that what Hoff and Simon are complaining about is that the
programming interface to MOUNT is inflexible and undocumented.

$ HELP MOUNT /MEDIA
 
  /MEDIA_FORMAT

        /MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM

     Mounts a volume assuming the media to be ISO 9660 (or High
     Sierra) formatted.

     The /MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM qualifier instructs the mount subsystem
     to attempt to mount a volume assuming the media to be ISO 9660
     (or High Sierra) formatted.

That's a pretty specific case for CD-ROMs, further complicated by:

        Because it is possible to record parts of a CD-ROM in Files-
        11 ODS-2 and other parts in ISO 9660 format, this qualifier
        can be used to specify a CD-ROM mount (ISO 9660 or High
        Sierra).

Ayup, at least for me.  And volume management is more than a little 
limited in general, too.

That in-retrospect-wonderfully-misnamed keyword overrides the default 
format search order and the built-in format-sniffing carnal knowledge 
within MOUNT.  it's only useful for dual-format disks containing both 
an ODS-2 or ODS-5 file system, and a file system related to ISO-9660, 
as those would otherwise always mount the ODS-2 or ODS-5 file system 
and ignore the ISO-9660 file system or related variant.

And for me as well. MOUNT should be little more than a CLI wrapper
around a $MOUNT system service and that $MOUNT system service should
provide generic mount services only and should ask filesystem specific
drivers/modules about anything that's filesystem specific.

BTW, all this (and a lot more) would be required as a pre-requisite
to properly supporting end-user written filesystem drivers in VMS.

Simon.

Well, that is a general problem with VMS.  I agree that better documentation, 
and better capability for modifications, would be a good thing.  In more than 
one area.

File system support (other than relatively trivial transfer programs) in 
VMS need some knowledge by MOUNT for it to even know what to do about a
foreign format.  For the theoretical FAT32 filesystem, you'd need a /FAT32
paramater to tell MOUNT this is a FAT32 filesystem, for it to validate the
filesystem and launch an ACP to deal with the file system.

A while back, I did write enough code to recognize FAT filesystems, to
"MOUNT" it (a standalone program does this, not VMS $ MOUNT) and to fire
off an ACP.  The disk shows up as MOUNTed on VMS and trying to do anything
to it does properly poke the ACP, so a $ DIRECTORY DKxx: correctly dies
with the expected error.  The ACP actually doesn't know how to do anything
at all except to DISMOUNT it, and I probably won't be able to learn enough
to make it do anything useful.  And they pay me to do different things,
not this, this was just toy code.

Wouldn't be the first time that dynamically-activated extensions or 
callouts were used within OpenVMS or layered products, or ACPs for that 
matter, and MOUNT does still has a largely-now-runt ACP-related 
qualifier.

(But this also leads to discussions around code signing and related, 
though those areas of security haven't become visible to most OpenVMS 
users.  Yet.)

IMHO, MOUNT should not be validating that filesystem; it should be asking
a previously registered FAT32 filesystem driver if the volume in question
contains a valid FAT32 filesystem.

It would be a lot better if you could load and remove filesystems at
kernel level instead (in the same way that you can currently load a
device driver at runtime [but not remove it :-(]) and have the ODS-2/5
support just be yet another filesystem driver.

And yes, I know in reality that's going to be NuVMS territory only.

Not so fast ....

If VSI is developing a new file system, and the road map says they are, they are 
also going to run into this problem.  So they will:

1) Add another file system where required

2) Do the design and work to allow what you're asking

It will probably be a monolithic mass of code added on top of the
existing monolithic mass of code but it would be _very_ nice to be
proved wrong here.

> 2) Do the design and work to allow what you're asking

Or MOUNT will just get yet more special case and filesystem specific
code on top of the current special case and filesystem specific code.

There are a number of things that VMS, even today, is very good at when
compared to the opposition. Handling filesystems in a general way is
not one of them however.

Actually, most of the time in Linux, I don’t need to worry about this. It is capable of automatically sniffing the filesystem format as part of the mount process.

I accidentally produced something that would confound this.  I put an ODS-5
VMS filesystem on a thumb drive.  Later I stuck the drive in a PC and
formatted it.  The PC then saw it as an (empty) FAT-32 drive.  I don't think
I put anything on the drive from the PC. Later I put it back into a VMS
system intending to init it with a VMS file system again but I $ MOUNTED it
with no problem.  All the necessary VMS bits to mount it were still there. I
did an $ ANALYZE/DISK expecting something to be corrupted, yet it passed.  
The VMS file system structure was still there. Back to the PC and it was
still FAT...

What should a file system agnostic MOUNT do with this?  I should try to
see if I can recreate it and see what is in block 0/the GPT blocks ...

The FAT and ODS-5 structures overlap, so that disk was honked, and the 
tools involved were clearly not detecting the honkage; the 
inconsistencies.

Better detect a corrupt file system?   But for dual-format-capable file 
systems such as ODS-2 or ODS-5 and ISO-9660 systems, a switch or 
qualifier is necessary to mount a file system further down the search 
order from what's initially found, when the file systems are 
dual-format.  This qualifier already exists in OpenVMS.   There'll be 
yet added work here, if (when?) OpenVMS supports GPT disks and disk 
partitioning, too.

The sys$setboot tool can sniff some of the basic file system structures.

Don't ever wonder how the command interface complexity and the glue 
code and the management effort increases, either.

The MOUNT command should know exactly nothing about the internals of
the filesystem on _any_ volume it is being asked to mount; it should
restrict itself to providing the general mount infrastructue.

In a modular system, filesystem specific knowledge should be held
within the filesystem driver only and MOUNT should restrict itself
to asking the driver for {X} filesystem (via a standard interface)
if the driver recognises the filesystem on volume {Y}.

{Y} does not have to be a physical disk/tape/whatever BTW; it could
be a purely software/virtual construct in a modular system.

And that's exactly what happens in a modular system; MOUNT would
provide general mounting services only. If you didn't want MOUNT
to ask each registered filesystem in turn about the volume MOUNT
was being asked to mount, then the only additional MOUNT qualifier
you would need would be /FILESYSTEM={whatever} where {whatever}
would be the registered name of the filesystem driver.

One of the few (only?) distinctive features of OpenVMS and clustering 
remaining is multi-host RAID-1, and the DVE/DDS support.

Most of the other capabilities of clustering that an application might 
seek to use can be implemented — variously through entirely different 
means, but with similar results — on other platforms.

I was answering a question.

OpenVMS volume management is crayon-grade.  It certainly works, but 
it's manual.

What would I prefer to see?  I'd prefer to see volumes become far less 
interesting to applications with the integration of the mount point 
support, the ability to automatically mount or re-mount volumes in 
cluster and NFS configurations (and the integrated SMB and WebDAV 
clients, if those ever arrive) as the hosts come and go (what some of 
us use MSCPMOUNT for), and I'd prefer the ability to notify on storage- 
and volume-level errors (error handling and notifications are another 
area of OpenVMS that was quite good to start, but that has subsequently 
degraded into a free-for-all of a zillion different tool- and 
app-specific solutions), the ability to automatically detect WWIDs and 
to manage the FC scanning without all the manual schtick currently 
required — not modifying or mounting detected volumes, but avoiding the 
WWIDMGR dance and the absurdly manual FC SAN configuration and 
management where that can be automated and integrated and preferably 
avoiding the need for the  rd_devid (xec) and management_in (xa3) 
commands if possible,  better automation of the DVE/DDS volume growth 
operation, rid of the manual editing of the sys$config and 
sys$user_config,and it'd be nice to have USB sector-addressable storage 
volumes automatically detected and made available.   Volume-level 
encryption and the related key management, too.   Background scrubbing, 
for those that cling to rotating rust.   Managing snapshots and local 
and off-site backups.   Storage allocation and storage migration 
support too, and preferably transparent — but some apps are going to 
squabble or are going to need to change.   Among other details.

Just having a MOUNT-integrated database with a list of which volumes 
are in use or are scratch, and which projects and users are on what 
volume, and the interface to the central password and certificate 
store, would be nice, too.

Take a long hard look at the storage-related DCL glue code in 
SYSTARTUP_VMS and SYCONFIG and SYSHUTDWN and SYSHUTDWN_0010 and 
MSCPMOUNT and elsewhere, and start to work to remove it.   In short, 
take what your average system manager has to do to manage your average 
moderate-to-large non-static storage configuration and across the 
current suite of disparate tools involved (BACKUP or other backup tool, 
SHOW ERROR and ELV, MOUNT, etc), and better automate it.

Yes, some of you are working at sites with servers and volumes and 
configurations that seldom change or that never change.  With 
SYSTARTUP_VMS and SYSHUTDWN and such having reached a state of utter 
perfection.   Good on you.  Good job.  Seriously.   Volume management 
features and better storage automation are probably not for you.  But 
even among some of these sites, I suspect there are features here that 
you could use, though.

Are all of these necessary?  Of course not.  But consider what features 
will OpenVMS be competing with and competing against, and what those 
other platforms will be providing, in five or ten years, too.

The MOUNT code is good code, but the design is old and limited.   MOUNT 
has carnal knowledge of the supported file systems.  There's no support 
for user-mode nor inner-mode file systems; for FUSE or for the ability 
to add and integrate additional file systems.   There's no way to get 
MOUNT to launch an ACP on a non-storage or 
storage-but-non-recognized-format device, for that matter.   There are 
examples such as NFS, which didn't have a way to use MOUNT, and various 
products which use ACPs to "assist" with driver-specific processing.

That's one of many examples of what's missing here.

I'd think that the whole system of device handling in VMS could use a serious 
look, and re-design, to incorporate things that have appeared since the original 
work was done.  MOUNT is just a part of this.

Now, I know you probably know this, MOUNT /FOREIGN gives an application access 
to a device.  No, it's not the OS that does anything.  And yes, you'd want the 
OS to handle the device, not an application.  Probably should not have mentioned 
this ....

Thanks for taking the time to write out that list; there's some
interesting items in there.

   Yes, it does.  Works just fine.  Don't need to hide them like some OS
   written in the late 1960s.

   There are issues that arize when you can see the device names, and
   issues that arize when you can't.

Agreed. There is no real problem with explicitly showing the device, as 
opposed to hiding it. And yes, VMS is way newer than Unix. :-)

Right. Pro's and cons. I wish more people could remember that.
