[libvirt-users] Mount options for fs type storage pools?

[Justin Clift]

Hi all,

Presently writing up "Storage Pool" docs for the Fedora Virtualisation 
Guide.  (using both virsh and virt-manager)

Having trouble finding out how to specify mount options for fs type 
storage pools.

For example:

   # virsh pool-define-as guest_images_fs fs - - /dev/sdc1 - "/guest_images"
   Pool guest_images_fs defined

   # virsh pool-build guest_images_fs
   Pool guest_images_fs built

   # virsh pool-start guest_images_fs
   Pool guest_images_fs started

   # mount | grep guest_images
   /dev/sdc1 on /guest_images type ext4 (rw)
   #

Notice that /guest_images is mounted with default options.  Nothing 
wrong with that, but lets say the SysAdmin has a need to pass specific 
mount options.  (ie journal_checksum, or noatime, or nodiratime, etc)

Checked the virStorageBackendFileSystemMount() function in present git 
master, and it doesn't look like mount options are considered for 
anything other than Gluster?

How to do it, or is it best to not use libvirt to manage the mounting of 
this type of storage when options are needed?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
