Stage 2: Mounting the Cluster

Next, you need to mount the cluster to make it accessible to the client. You can do this with the the pstorage-mount command. For example, if your Parallels Cloud Storage cluster has the name of pcs1 , you can run this command to mount it to the /pstorage/pcs1 directory on the client:

# pstorage-mount -c pcs1 /pstorage/pcs1

You can also configure the client to automatically mount the cluster to the /pstorage/pcs1 directory when the client boots. To do this, add a line like the following to the /etc/fstab file:

pstorage://pcs1 /pstorage/pcs1 fuse.pstorage rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0

Note: If the cluster is not used for virtualization, you can mount it with the --fail-on-nospace option. In this case an ERR_NO_SPACE error will be returned if the cluster runs out of free space.
