#!/usr/bin/python """ bind.py: Bind mount example This creates hosts with private directories that the user specifies. These hosts may have persistent directories that will be available across multiple mininet session, or temporary directories that will only last for one mininet session. To specify a persistent directory, add a tuple to a list of private directories: [ ( 'directory to be mounted on', 'directory to be mounted' ) ] String expansion may be used to create a directory template for each host. To do this, add a %(name)s in place of the host name when creating your list of directories: [ ( '/var/run', '/tmp/%(name)s/var/run' ) ] If no persistent directory is specified, the directories will default to temporary private directories. To do this, simply create a list of directories to be made private. A tmpfs will then be mounted on them. You may use both temporary and persistent directories at the same time. In the following privateDirs string, each host will have a persistent directory in the root filesystem at "/tmp/(hostname)/var/run" mounted on "/var/run". Each host will also have a temporary private directory mounted on "/var/log". [ ( '/var/run', '/tmp/%(name)s/var/run' ), '/var/log' ] This example has both persistent directories mounted on '/var/log' and '/var/run'. It also has a temporary private directory mounted on '/var/mn' """ from mininet.net import Mininet from mininet.node import Host from mininet.cli import CLI from mininet.topo import SingleSwitchTopo from mininet.log import setLogLevel, info from functools import partial # Sample usage def testHostWithPrivateDirs(): "Test bind mounts" topo = SingleSwitchTopo( 10 ) privateDirs = [ ( '/var/log', '/tmp/%(name)s/var/log' ), ( '/var/run', '/tmp/%(name)s/var/run' ), '/var/mn' ] host = partial( Host, privateDirs=privateDirs ) net = Mininet( topo=topo, host=host ) net.start() directories = [ directory[ 0 ] if isinstance( directory, tuple ) else directory for directory in privateDirs ] info( 'Private Directories:', directories, '\n' ) CLI( net ) net.stop() if __name__ == '__main__': setLogLevel( 'info' ) testHostWithPrivateDirs() info( 'Done.\n')
