Package: kpartx Version: 0.4.8-14+lenny2 Severity: normal Hi,
I'd like to boot from a partitioned multipath device, but the device nodes corresponding to the partitions aren't created. At the (initramfs) prompt: (initramfs) multipath -ll nfs (360060160ec612000f6f237e09406df11) dm-0 DGC ,RAID 5 [size=5.0G][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=1 emc] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][active] \_ 1:0:1:0 sdb 8:16 [active][ready] \_ 0:0:1:0 sdd 8:48 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:0:0 sda 8:0 [active][ready] \_ 0:0:0:0 sdc 8:32 [active][ready] which looks perfectly good, but (initramfs) ls -l /dev/disk/by-id lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 16 Jan 26 17:38 dm-name-nfs -> ../../mapper/nfs lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 16 Jan 26 17:38 dm-uuid-mpath-360060160ec612000f6f237e09406df11 -> ../../mapper/nfs lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 9 Jan 26 17:50 scsi-360060160ec612000f6f237e09406df11 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Jan 26 17:38 scsi-360060160ec612000f6f237e09406df11-part1 -> ../../sdd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Jan 26 17:38 scsi-360060160ec612000f6f237e09406df11-part2 -> ../../sdd2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 9 Jan 26 17:38 scsi-SIBM-ESXSST936701LC_F3LC065GL00007604NMST -> ../../sde lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Jan 26 17:38 scsi-SIBM-ESXSST936701LC_F3LC065GL00007604NMST-part1 -> ../../sde1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Jan 26 17:38 scsi-SIBM-ESXSST936701LC_F3LC065GL00007604NMST-part2 -> ../../sde2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 9 Jan 26 17:50 wwn-0x60060160ec612000 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Jan 26 17:38 wwn-0x60060160ec612000-part1 -> ../../sdd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Jan 26 17:38 wwn-0x60060160ec612000-part2 -> ../../sdd2 which feels rather confused (sd[a-d] are the paths, sde is a local disk). Basically, I miss dm-name-nfs-part[12] and the corresponding /dev/mapper/nfs-part[12] devices. (initramfs) kpartx -l /dev/mapper/nfs nfs1 : 0 385497 /dev/mapper/nfs 63 nfs2 : 0 10088820 /dev/mapper/nfs 385560 which is about right, kpartx -a /dev/mapper/nfs; vgchange -ay nfs lets the boot conclude normally (/dev/mapper/nfs2 is my PV), although /dev/mapper/nfs1 disappears, so later I get Checking file systems...fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16.2 fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/nfs1 but that's probably the same issue striking again. /lib/udev/rules.d/60-kpartx.rules is in place and should work, but somehow it does not. At least the above device/partition mixup is not present in the booted system: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2010-01-26 18:58 scsi-360060160ec612000f6f237e09406df11 -> ../../sdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-01-26 18:57 scsi-360060160ec612000f6f237e09406df11-part1 -> ../../sdd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-01-26 18:57 scsi-360060160ec612000f6f237e09406df11-part2 -> ../../sdd2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2010-01-26 18:58 wwn-0x60060160ec612000 -> ../../sdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-01-26 18:57 wwn-0x60060160ec612000-part1 -> ../../sdd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-01-26 18:57 wwn-0x60060160ec612000-part2 -> ../../sdd2 Interestingly, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2010-01-26 18:57 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-nfs1 -> ../../mapper/nfs1 is also present, although broken in the booted system. Udev changed a lot since Lenny, I'd appreciate some help finding the problem. -- Thanks, Feri. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kpartx depends on: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.27-4 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.27-4 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii udev 0.125-7+lenny3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo kpartx recommends no packages. kpartx suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
