This patch adds two new features to swift-drive-audit. The first
is an option in the drive-audit.conf file that allows the operator
to prevent the drives ever being unmounted automatically,
regardless of the amount of errors present. This could be of
benefit in very small systems consisting of only one or two drives
where the operator would like to manually unmount/fix the
particular drive(s) and minimise any potential downtime.
The second is another option in drive-audit.conf that allows the
operator to select a recon directory. This directory will then
have a drive.recon file which will keep an up-to-date record of
the swift drives and any errors associated with them. An example
of the output would be as follows:
{"/srv/node/disk2": "0", "/srv/node/disk3": "25", "/srv/node/disk0": "0",
"/srv/node/disk1": "0", "/srv/node/disk10": "0", "/srv/node/disk7": "0",
"/srv/node/disk4": "137", "/srv/node/disk5": "0", "/srv/node/disk8": "0",
"/srv/node/disk9": "0", "/srv/node/disk6": "0", "/srv/node/disk11": "60"}
This would allow the operator to monitor the errors on the swift
drives without having to spend time searching through logs. Also, if
this is accepted, it should be possible to add an option to
swift-recon that would keep track of this at a system level.
