When the problem have began, I noticed that the boot process dropped to rescue shell, after the generation of a new initrd, now the boot process simply freezes (almost for 2 hours) trying to launch processes that depend on the disk it don't find. So I did this workaround: - disable mysql & disable bacula-dir service - added "nofail" attribute to fstab to - /dev/md/mysql - /dev/md/ROOTHOME - /dev/nonraid/tmp I rebooted the machine and, as you can see in the movie system boot up and: - /dev/md/lvm is correctly started - /dev/raid/mysql, /dev/raid/ROOTHOME, /dev/nonraid/tmp are inactive So to address: lvchange -ay /dev/nonraid/tmp lvchange -ay /dev/raid/mysql lvchange -ay /dev/raid/ROOTHOME (systemd mount "new" filesystems authomatically) rcmysql start rcbacula-dir start This should provide another bit of information: http://youtu.be/FzR_V5ULSK0
