Adrien Cunin 15c6967a41 Use auto instead of noauto mount option
This is needed in order for the devices to be mounted automatically.

Storage devices
===============
This section offers a set of prerequisite instructions for setting up
Object Storage (swift) storage devices. The storage devices must be set up
before installing swift.
**Procedure 5.1. Configuring and mounting storage devices**
Object Storage recommends a minimum of three swift hosts
with five storage disks. The example commands in this procedure
use the storage devices ``sdc`` through to ``sdg``.
#. Determine the storage devices on the node to be used for swift.
#. Format each device on the node used for storage with XFS. While
formatting the devices, add a unique label for each device.
Without labels, a failed drive causes mount points to shift and
data to become inaccessible.
For example, create the file systems on the devices using the
``mkfs`` command:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# apt-get install xfsprogs
# mkfs.xfs -f -i size=1024 -L sdc /dev/sdc
# mkfs.xfs -f -i size=1024 -L sdd /dev/sdd
# mkfs.xfs -f -i size=1024 -L sde /dev/sde
# mkfs.xfs -f -i size=1024 -L sdf /dev/sdf
# mkfs.xfs -f -i size=1024 -L sdg /dev/sdg
#. Add the mount locations to the ``fstab`` file so that the storage
devices are remounted on boot. The following example mount options
are recommended when using XFS:
.. code-block:: shell-session
LABEL=sdc /srv/node/sdc xfs noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8,auto 0 0
LABEL=sdd /srv/node/sdd xfs noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8,auto 0 0
LABEL=sde /srv/node/sde xfs noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8,auto 0 0
LABEL=sdf /srv/node/sdf xfs noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8,auto 0 0
LABEL=sdg /srv/node/sdg xfs noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8,auto 0 0
#. Create the mount points for the devices using the ``mkdir`` command:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdc
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdd
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sde
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdf
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdg
The mount point is referenced as the ``mount_point`` parameter in
the ``swift.yml`` file (``/etc/rpc_deploy/conf.d/swift.yml``):
.. code-block:: shell-session
# mount /srv/node/sdc
# mount /srv/node/sdd
# mount /srv/node/sde
# mount /srv/node/sdf
# mount /srv/node/sdg
To view an annotated example of the ``swift.yml`` file, see
`this link <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/openstack-ansible/master/etc/openstack_deploy/conf.d/swift.yml.example>`_.
For the following mounted devices:
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Device | Mount location |
+======================================+======================================+
| /dev/sdc | /srv/node/sdc |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| /dev/sdd | /srv/node/sdd |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| /dev/sde | /srv/node/sde |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| /dev/sdf | /srv/node/sdf |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| /dev/sdg | /srv/node/sdg |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
