Ruby for Scripting

| Comments

So, this isn’t “new”, I wrote it a few weeks back, but, well, meh, figured I’d share. First “useful” ruby-instead-of-bash script for a little automation/keeping things consistent.

@ work we have the need to move a whole mess of storage (just under 100TB) from one thing to another, and to preserve quotas as we do so. Most of the quotas are simple 1TB tree/project quotas. Some are bigger, but by default we want to start @ 1TB and then we can bump the ones needed. Anyways, I need to do this for about 8 groups of 5-20 “projects/trees”, so by hand isn’t really an option. Hence the script:

#Usage: mkscartch <project/group name> 
#Makes the needed project/projid entires turns on the project quota, and sets a 1TB default hard/soft limit. 
if ARGV.length != 2
  puts "usage: mkscartch <project/group name> <full path to directory>"
  puts "This script takes a lab/group name, and a path as arguments"
  puts "It will make a directory for the lab/group at the path, and turn it into a default 1TB project quota"
  exit
end

new_scratch = ARGV[0];
new_path = ARGV[1];
project_nums=Array.new
#first, we need to figure out what project ID to start with
File.open("/etc/projects").reverse_each { |projects|
        project_nums.push(projects.split(':')[0])
}
last_project = project_nums[0].to_i;
new_project = last_project+1
project_line="#{new_project}:#{new_path}"
projid_line="#{new_scratch}:#{new_project}"
mkdir_cmd="mkdir #{new_path}"
quota_set="xfs_quota -x -c 'project -s #{new_scratch}'"
quota_limit="xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=1024g bsoft=1024g #{new_scratch}'"

sleep(1)
puts "Adding #{project_line} to /etc/projects..."
File.open("/etc/projects", "a") do |f|
        f.puts(project_line)
end
sleep(1)
puts "Adding #{projid_line} to /etc/projid..."
File.open("/etc/projid", "a") do |f2|
        f2.puts(projid_line)
end

sleep(1)
puts "Making #{new_path} with #{mkdir_cmd}"
Dir::mkdir(new_path)

sleep(1)
puts "Setting quota with #{quota_set}"
system "#{quota_set}"

sleep(1)
puts "Setting quota limits @ 1TB with #{quota_limit}"
system "#{quota_limit}"

So, I can, from the place I want to sync from, do something like:

1

$ for i in *; do /usr/bin/mkscratch.rb $i /new/location/$i; done

And be done with it. Really basic, I know. But, first thing I would have normally shell scripted done in ruby instead. And you know what? I liked it, Its nice. So there.
