I'm setting up iSCSI storage for the first time, and I'm having trouble getting it to mount at boot.
I created my volume, logged in from my RHEL 5 system, and set up LVM on the volume. I made a filesystem on the resulting LV and mounted it. I put it in /etc/fstab with _netdev in the options field. On reboot, it can't be found, and bootup stops. It appears that nothing activates volume groups after iSCSI setup, so you can't automatically mount LVs from iSCSI volumes. I found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474833 from RHEL 5.3 that appears to describe the problem, but nothing has happened on it in a year and a half. Also, since multipathd is started before iscsi, multipathing doesn't actually get set up until I flush the maps with "multipath -F". Am I missing something (the usual case), or does this not work right by default? -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
