Robert, I'm not sure of the root cause of your mount problems, but we were also hitting a timing problem when mounting file systems over Infiniband at boot time. To avoid it, since the IB may still not be initialized when rc.local runs, the solution I used was to add the following to the "start)" section of /etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs. You could put something similar in rc.local if you prefer. # Spin until we find an "Active" IB device if [ -d /sys/class/infiniband ]; then tries=1 maxtries=10 delay=5 while [ $tries -le $maxtries ]; do grep -q ACTIVE /sys/class/infiniband/*/ports/*/state 2>&1 && break logger -s -t netfs "WARNING: No "ACTIVE" Infiniband ports found: try $tries/$maxtries, sleep $delay" sleep $delay (( tries++ )) [ $tries -gt $maxtries ] && logger -s -t "ERROR: No "ACTIVE" Infiniband ports found." done fi Hope this helps! -Nathan _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
