[Bug 1547206] [NEW] Boot stalls on mountall "disk drive not ready" question in multipath-tools >= 0.4.9-3ubuntu7.5
Public bug reported: System information: Cisco UCS B200M2 blade, fnic.ko HBA. The system boots from local storage, but mounts the following file system on an EMC VNX during bootup: opt_vnx (3600601603a71320022967e0a1f38e411) dm-0 DGC,VRAID size=50G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 emc' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active | |- 1:0:1:0 sdd 8:48 active ready running | `- 0:0:0:0 sda 8:0 active ready running `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=0 status=enabled |- 0:0:1:0 sdb 8:16 active ready running `- 1:0:0:0 sdc 8:32 active ready running /etc/fstab contains: /dev/mapper/opt_vnx /opt/vnx ext4 noatime 0 2 After upgrading the "multipath-tools" package to version 0.4.9-3ubuntu7.5 or higher, the system can no longer boot without manual intervention. Instead, the following question is asked (by mountall(8)) on the console: The disk drive for /opt/vnx is not ready yet or not present. keys:Continue to wait, or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery Waiting does nothing useful. Pressing "S" allows the boot to run to completion, and the "opt_vnx" *is* present when logging in to a completely booted system. However, it seems that this is discovered *after* the mountall(8) question appears and is skipped, as this log line appears later on in the boot process: * Discovering and coalescing multipaths... [ OK ] Downgrading multipath-tools to version 0.4.9-3ubuntu7.4 does resolve the problem, and allows the system to boot normally without manual intervention. Note that the dependent "kpartx" package does *not* need to be downgraded also, if this is left on version 0.4.9-3ubuntu7.9 it will still boot fine. We experience this problem on serveral other systems apart from the one described in this bug report. ** Affects: multipath-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547206 Title: Boot stalls on mountall "disk drive not ready" question in multipath- tools >= 0.4.9-3ubuntu7.5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1547206/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
