I have a 4T seagate drive formatted GPT by yast and family which works fine in openSUSE 13.1 as long as I do not try to reboot the box with the drive set to auto-mount. It is lvm one partition ext4 and when trying to boot 13.1 with the drive auto-mount, boot fails with lvm problem and reports it is in "maintenance mode" but never provides a prompt to log in.
This sounds like LVM not being started or started early enough. I seem to recall having written up a bugreport on that.
I guess possible but I would hazzard improbable as the system install also exists, root, home, var, ..., in lvm contained partitions. System boot fine as-long-as the 4T drive is not auto-mounted.
Hmm, yeah, that's not it then. I've only just yesterday acquired some of those 4Tb Seagate drives myself, I might play with LVM and see what happens (they're for a couple of mythtv backends).
Here's what I did today : - added a 4Tb Seagate drive - pvcreate, vgcreate, created 3.6Tb LV. - make jfs filesystem on the lv. - mkdir /var/spool/test99 - amend /etc/fstab to mount /dev/mythtv/vol1 on /var/spool/test99 reboot ... failed. Cause: the LV had not been activated on startup. Then I ran "systemctl enable boot.lvm.service", and rebooted again, this time no problems. This is on 12.2 however, so YMMV. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
