XDDSTATUS(5)  —  NEWS-OS Programmer’s Manual

NAME

xddstatus − Setting status information on xd servers

SYNOPSIS

/etc/xddstatus

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/xddstatus file is located in the xd server, and retains information on the xd device which is currently set for the xd server. When the xdattach(8) command is executed on the xd client, information on the device is added to /etc/xddstatus.  When the xddetach(8) command is executed on the xd client, the corresponding entry is removed from /etc/xddstatus. 

Each line of /etc/xddstatus indicates information on each xd device, which is described as follows:

device      client-name:xd-dev

This shows that the disk device device on the xd server is accessed as xd-dev of the xd client client-name.

For example, when the xd client news2 uses the disk device /dev/sd01h of the machine news1 as the device /dev/xd0a, /etc/xddstatus in news1 is described as:

/dev/sd01h       news2:/dev/xd0a

If the same xd device is attached using the xdattach(8) command more than once, the same description is added to /etc/xddstatus every time the xdattach(8) command is executed. 

FILES

/etc/xdconf − xd device description file on the xd client

/etc/xdstatus − setting status information on the xd client
