Hi,

I have for a long time hoped to see a feature that allows common configuration directives for a group of mountpoints. In a mannerism similar to whats shown below. There are two aspects with this approach. The first and obvious one is as a shorthand keeping things tidy. One can argue that theres always the option to default to the global defaults. However the feature Id love to see is the ability to in the example below limit max-listeners to 100 for the entire mount-group regardsless of what mount clients connect to. I realise that this might not be as easy as it sounds since resource ralated directives should apply as a total for all mounts in the group.

What do you think? Is this doable and desireable?


Example;
<mount-group>

<username>source</username>
<password>somepassword</password>
<max-listeners>100</max-listeners>

<mount>
<mount-name>/radio-high</mount-name>
<burst-size>65536</burst-size>
<hidden>1</hidden>
</mount>

<mount>
<mount-name>/radioo-low</mount-name>
<burst-size>65536</burst-size>
<hidden>1</hidden>
</mount>

</mount-group>

I'd like it to be like:

<mount-group>

<!-- Global group settings -->
<username>source</username>
<password>somepassword</password>
<max-listeners>50</max-listeners>
<hidden>0</hidden>

<!-- Mount specific settings, including mountpoints for the group(s) -->
<mount>
<mount-name>/radio1</mount-name>
<hidden>1</hidden>
<max-listeners>150</max-listeners>
</mount>

<mount>
<mount-name>/radio2</mount-name>
</mount>

<mount>
<mount-name>/radio3</mount-name>
<password>somepassword2</password>
</mount>

</mount-group>

At the moment, there's no group concept but I suppose the stats engine could be used however you would need some sort of group name.

My incentive for suggesting this was in the first place to get a way to actually limit the total amount of connections for a set of mounts. Say three mounts that may not have more than say 100 connections in total. While another set of mounts may have 200 total between them.

Deriving from such an idea was the ability to "group" certain mounts.
