Womz Storage Manager WSM Author: Eric Wamsley Site: http://ewams.net

Summary WSM aims to provide a simple utility for managing storage devices on a Linux system.

How to run

1. Download wsm.pl to the target system
2. chmod +x wsm.pl
3. ./wsm.pl
4. Follow instructions and provide input with keyboard

Details WSM is a Perl program that uses common built-in features of an OS to manage the many aspects of storage devices on a Linux system to simplify administration overhead.

Features Scan for new storage devices View storage devices and device details View, create, and delete logical partitions Format a partition with a filesystem Mount and unmount a filesystem Add a filesystem mount to be persistent on reboots Install S.M.A.R.T tools (smartmontools), RAID tools (mdadm), and partition tools (GNU parted)

TODO RAID devices Help / videos

Notes: Application must be ran as root.

Only currently tested on Debian 6.

For filesystem format functionality the mkfs program has to have the associated filesystem utility installed, (IE, for btfs: btrfs-tools, for xfs: xfsprogs, for jfs: jfsutils, for resier4: reiser4progs).

To mount a filesystem the kernel must know how to use the filesystem.

Filesystems tested btrfs ext2 ext3 ext4 jfs reiser4 xfs

Known Issues Unable to mount a partition if it does not have a UUID
