[Bug 446720] Re: sometimes fails to boot (with blinking cursor) if second hard drive in fstab
No, there is no hard drive activity when sitting at the cursor, and I left it for a few hours yesterday and it was still stuck there. All of the volumes are clean and have the mount count/interval set to -1 or 0 so it shouldn't do a full fsck on any of them anyway. I might try the ubuntu-boot PPA later on today. -- sometimes fails to boot (with blinking cursor) if second hard drive in fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The version from the PPA has now been uploaded to the archive (0.2.0) I'd appreciate it if you could try this version, if it still fails, please run sudo mountall --debug and attach the output ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- sometimes fails to boot (with blinking cursor) if second hard drive in fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Actually the fstab line for the second drive is a red herring. Twice, commenting out that line and rebooting was followed by a successful boot, but this morning it failed to boot even with that line commented out. -- sometimes fails to boot (with blinking cursor) if second hard drive in fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 446720] Re: sometimes fails to boot (with blinking cursor) if second hard drive in fstab
Does the hard drive activity continue? It could be a detailed fsck happening with no output on screen, as in bug #446596 or it may be related to bug #443080. My experience is related in bug #440896 . I had a similar problem, and the fsck took about 10 minutes before boot continued - if it is doing your 1 TB disk it could be a very long time - my disk is 160 GB. So one time when it seems to die, try just leaving it for an hour or two and see if the boot does then complete. Also, are you using the ubuntu-boot ppa? If so you might want to try the latest version which has fixed bugs for me at least - to quote from the comment in a number of other mountall bugs: Scott James Remnant wrote on 2009-10-08: #17 I've uploaded a new mountall package to the ubuntu-boot PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-boot/+archive/ppa I would appreciate it if you could install this and try it out. *BEFORE* you reboot though, could you run sudo mountall --debug mountall.log 21 and attach that to this bug - then after you reboot, let me know whether it worked or not.
