Blobfuse2 health-monitor works with direct blobfuse2 command, but with mount -a gives error executible 'bfusemon' not find in $PATH

Hi All,

I'm using Blobfuse2 v2.0.2.
When I run below blobfuse2 command ,

Blobfuse2 mount_path --config-file=filename.yml

the health-monitor logs are created successfully. But when I run mount -a(using fstab entry), the log files are not created. And on logs i can see error :

LOG_ERR [health-monito.go (113)] failed to start health monitor [exec: "bfusemon" executible file not found in $PATH]

Please assist.

Hi @ravina199.
Thanks for reaching out. We were able to reproduce this.
LOG_ERR [health-monito.go (113)] failed to start health monitor [exec: "bfusemon" executible file not found in $PATH]
The reason for the above error is that /etc/fstab runs as a system service and does not have access to the $PATH environment variable.
As an alternate solution, you can create a script like below and run it through /etc/fstab.

#!/bin/bash
export PATH="$PATH"
blobfuse2 mount_path --config-file=filename.yml

Let me know if this works out for you.
