Hi list,
I am facing a strange issue with SLES12.
Whenever I add a new DASD (using dasd_configure) and add it to the fstab
the next boot will fail with:
Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2dpath-ccw...2dpart1.device
Dependency failed for /mountpoint
Dependency failed for Local File Systems.
As the device needed for that mountpoint (/dev/dasdb1) did not start in
time.
I then get into maintenance mode. Device /dev/dasdb1 is online and
/mountpoint is already mounted.
So it looks like the device is ok but it starts too late in the boot
process (a new feature in systemd will automatically mount the device when
it goes online if it is in the fstab).
I have made sure of the following:
1. New udev rule for the device is in place
2. /boot/zipl/active_device.txt includes the new device
The following workarounds worked for me (but no real solution):
1. Remove the mountpoint from the fstab (just to get out of
maintenance mode)
2. Remove the device from cio_ignore in grub (boot process will
finish ok)
a. I don’t want to edit grub every time I add a device
3. Make a new initrd using dracut. As it will add the device to the
rd.cio_accept parameter in the initrd (boot process will finish ok)
a. I don’t want to make a new initrd every time I add a device
Something is very wrong here… am I missing some new configuration file that
needs to be updated (other than active_devices.txt)?
Any idea? Make initrd or editing grub is not a real solution…
Thanks in advance
