Add example for --seek-length flag in systemd unit #168

Closed alethenorio closed 3 years ago

alethenorio commented 3 years ago

I am using a systemd unit in rar2fs and I have looked everywhere but cannot find an answer on how do I configure rar2fs --seek-length flag in a systemd unit file.

Can we maybe add it as an example in Wiki?

hasse69 commented 3 years ago

Sorry, I have very little experience with systemd mount units. But from what I can tell you should use the Options= section. Is that not working?

Guessing here, but maybe something like this?

[Unit]
Description=Whatever

[Mount]
What=/your/source/folder
Where=/your/target/folder
Type=rar2fs
Options=defaults,--seek-length=1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I am also not good at systemd unit files. I have googled everywhere but couldn't find a lot of good documentation on the subject. I'll keep digging and see if I can find out how and update the issue

hasse69 commented 3 years ago

So the example above did not give you any additional clues? Maybe Options= should be a space separated list, not using ','?

alethenorio commented 3 years ago

Apologies. You are absolutely correct. I tried it out with a comma separation as you originally suggested and it seems to work (at least the directory mounts but I am not quite sure how to verify). Thank you.

Maybe add it as an example in the Wiki?

hasse69 commented 3 years ago

I guess easiest way to verify is to misspell the option on purpose and verify that mount fails 😉

Yes, we can add it to the wiki? Should I give you write access so that you can do it once you have some real example to share?

Not sure for mounting with systemd, but for me htop will show the currently running rar2fs with mount points and options.

alethenorio commented 3 years ago

I'll be more than happy to write an example in the wiki.

@zappepappe Yeah I just checked PS and grepped by the process name and could verify as well

@alethenorio you have been invited as a collaborator

hasse69 commented 3 years ago

@alethenorio I saw that there was already some good info about automount/mount and systemd in the wiki, maybe you can simply complement that with some info about adding additional arguments to the mount command.

alethenorio commented 3 years ago

Indeed. That was my plan. :)

hasse69 commented 3 years ago

@alethenorio Please close the issue when you feel ready with your updates to the wiki.

alethenorio commented 3 years ago

Sorry for the delay here. It is now fixed.
