== NAME
vblade-persistence - description of the vblade persistence
== DESCRIPTION
vblade-persistence uses the files in `/etc/vblade.conf.d/` to manage
exports. File names must end in `.conf`. The "instance" name is the
file name without `.conf`.
The file format is a POSIX shell fragment.
The following variables *must* be defined: `netif`, `shelf`, `slot`,
and `filename`. See vblade(8) for their meaning. Incomplete
configuration files are ignored, so are files that are not a valid
shell syntax.
Additionally, the following variables may be defined:
* `options`
Any options as provided by vblade(7).
* `ionice`
Use these to define an I/O scheduling class and level for that export.
The value must be understood by ionice(1).
== EXAMPLE
----
shelf=14
slot=2
netif=ens3
filename=/dev/mapper/export
options='-r -m 11:22:33:44:55:66,22:33:44:55:66:77 -o 8'
ionice='--class best-effort --classdata 7'
----
== USAGE
=== On systems using systemd
Install `vblade-generator` in `/lib/systemd/system-generators/`, and
both `vblade.service` and `vblade@.service` in `/lib/systemd/system/`.
Enable the vblade service, reload systemd. Additional units for each
export should appear, named `vblade@<instance>.service`.
=== On systems using SysV init
Individual instances may be controlled by providing their name as
a second option, e.g.

----
Two different init scripts are available:
==== `vblade.init.lsb-daemon`
Uses LSB functions and daemon(1) program to control the instance.
Pros: daemon(1) is a very fine tool for this, providing also respawning
and output redirection.
==== `vblade.init.daemon`
As above, but without using LSB functions.
Pros: Should be fairly portable, no thrills.
==== Template
The template for these scripts is `vblade.init.in`, the actual
templating is done using tpage(1p), see `vblade.init.generate`.
Support for using Debian's start-stop-daemon has been prepared but
requires pid file supprt in vblade to be usable.
== BUGS
On SysV init systems, the configuration files are always sourced as
shell scripts. On systemd systems, the configuration file is just
a key/value store without shell expansion.
It's a wise idea to run `sh -n` against a configuration file after any
modification for basic format validation.
