https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231077 Summary: iscsi device mount points don't get automounter on system boot Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.0 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rsarraf@netapp.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: jballif@novell.com, xdl-novell-bugzilla@netapp.com Currently, when a system is configured with an iSCSI device to a mount point, the device is not mounted automatically at system boot. Assuming: /dev/sdc1 /data ext3 defaults,_netdev 0 0 where /dev/sdc is an iSCSI device. I've noticed that the flow of init is: 1) Execute boot.localfs. Here it tries to mount the iSCSI device but fails because that particular device won't be present there because iSCSI service is not running. 2) Bring up the network 3) Bring up the iSCSI service. Ideally, on seeing the _netdev option in /etc/fstab, the OS should hold the mount of that particular device because it depends on the network. And since it is an iSCSI device, IMO iSCSI service should run right after the network service and before any application daemon service. I also tried with the "nfsroot" option in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth* files but the issue is still there. I also tried with: Required-Start: boot.udev network open-iscsi but that still didn't solve the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
