mountpattern = ( mount-point )
The mountpattern list is used by the cfengine model for mounting
nfs filesystems. @xref{NFS resources,NFS resources,NFS resources,cfengine-Tutorial}. It is also used in the evaluation of the
pseudo variable home, See section files, section tidy.
It is used together with the value of homepattern to locate and
identify what filesystems are local to a given host and which are
mounted over the network. For this list to make sense you need to
stick to a rigid convention for mounting your filesystems under a single
naming scheme as described in the section mentioned above. If you
follow the recommended naming scheme then you will want to set the value
of mountpattern to
mountpattern = ( /$(site)/$(host) )
which implies that cfengine will look for local disk partitions under a unique directory given by the name of the host and site. Any filesystems which are physically located on the current host lie in this directory. All mounted filesystems should lie elsewhere. If you insist on keeping mounted file systems in more than one location, you can make a list like this:
mountpattern = ( /$(site)/users /$(site)/projects )
