Hi, I'm seeing a strange issue where, per dmesg, a partition is found when the kernel is booted, but later it has disappeared and by the time /etc/fstab is parsed and filesystems mounted it cannot be found and bootup thus fails.
>From dmesg: sd 0:0:0:1: [sda] 143305920 512-byte logical blocks: (73.3 GB/68.3 GiB) sd 0:0:0:1: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:1: [sda] Mode Sense: 6b 00 00 08 sd 0:0:0:1: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: disabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sda: sda1 sda2 Later on sda1 has disappeared (e.g., /dev/sda1 doesn't exist), although with parted I can still find it: GNU Parted 2.1 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) p Model: HP LOGICAL VOLUME (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 73.4GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 525MB 524MB primary ext4 boot 2 525MB 73.4GB 72.8GB primary lvm I haven't found any messages anywhere wrt. sda1 disappearing. As you can deduce from the above, the partition in question is /boot. So the partition itself seems Ok, considering grub can read and boot the kernel there. I just cannot access it from the booted system (commenting out the /boot entry in fstab allows the system to boot successfully). The system in question is currently running RHEL 6.3, originally it was installed as 6.x and upgraded over time. Has anyone seen something similar, or better yet, seen and fixed it? -- Janne Blomqvist _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list rhelv6-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list
