mount - Control active and configured mount points

Author:Seth Vidal

Synopsis

This module controls active and configured mount points in /etc/fstab.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
dump no
    dump (see fstab(8))
    fstype yes
      file-system type
      name yes
        path to the mount point, eg: /mnt/files
        opts no
          mount options (see fstab(8))
          passno no
            passno (see fstab(8))
            src yes
              device to be mounted on name.
              state yes
              • present
              • absent
              • mounted
              • unmounted
              If mounted or unmounted, the device will be actively mounted or unmounted as well as just configured in fstab. absent and present only deal with fstab. mounted will also automatically create the mount point directory if it doesn't exist. If absent changes anything, it will remove the mount point directory.

              Examples


              # Mount DVD read-only
              - mount: name=/mnt/dvd src=/dev/sr0 fstype=iso9660 opts=ro state=present
              
              # Mount up device by label
              - mount: name=/srv/disk src='LABEL=SOME_LABEL' state=present
              
              # Mount up device by UUID
              - mount: name=/home src='UUID=b3e48f45-f933-4c8e-a700-22a159ec9077' opts=noatime state=present
