[CentOS-docs] HowTo activate LVs after reboot automatically
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hello !
What to do if after reboot, your LVs get inactive ?
Maybe add the following to /etc/rc.local :
{{{
#
# Mounting MyLogVols
#
/usr/sbin/vgchange -a y MyVolGroup
for i in `ls /dev/Backup/`; do
e2fsck -p /dev/Backup/$i
case $? in
0)
mount -t ext3 /dev/MyVolGroup/$i/mnt/MyVolGroup/$i
;;
1)
mount -t ext3 /dev/MyVolGroup/$i/mnt/MyVolGroup/$i
;;
2)
/usr/bin/reboot
;;
esac
done
}}}
Other solutions ?
Could we document this issue on the wiki ?
Cheers,

Grrr ... the previous message script has some typos. Excuse me about
that. I think they are fixed now.

Grrr ... the previous message script has some typos. Excuse me about that. I think they are fixed now. The standaard boot scripts should activate all LVM volume groups and logical volumes at boot. And the automatic mounting should be done using /etc/fstab. If this does not happen this is a bug and it should be investigated. Are you experiences this problem yourself ?

Maybe add the following to /etc/rc.local : ... The standaard boot scripts should activate all LVM volume groups and logical volumes at boot. And the automatic mounting should be done using /etc/fstab. That's what I initially thought ... but got surprised when I reboot the system. What I initially did was: 1. connect an external maxtor usb hdd. 2. initialize the device (pvcreate) 3. create a Backup volume group (vgcreate) 4. create logical volumes inside Backup volume group (lvcreate) 5. mkfs.ext3 to logical volumes inside Backup volume group. 5. create the mount points (mkdir /var/ftp/Backup/departament_name ) 6. update /etc/fstab to add mount definitions. 7. mount partitions. 8. fix permissions. It worked until the system was rebooted. When did so, the system stopped and prompted me to add root password to correct the filesystem. I picked the CentOS LiveCD, commented Backup logical volumes definitions in /etc/fstab and after reboot the system booted up. Once inside the system checked volumes with lvscan, all lv inside Backup volume group were inactive. If this does not happen this is a bug and it should be investigated. How could I help ? Are you experiences this problem yourself ? Yep. I think so.
