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.
So, perhaps we are closer to seeing the problem. On 13.1 I ran: 13:58 wahoo: ~ # systemctl status boot.lvm.service boot.lvm.service Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) On my 13.1 and Tw systems there is no boot.lvm.service, nor even an lvm.service ???? but there are: locate lvm |grep service /usr/lib/systemd/system/lvm2-lvmetad.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/lvm2-monitor.service /usr/share/doc/packages/lvm2/kernel/service-time.txt of which none are active ??? *** BUT, all system partitions except /boot are lvm2 The 4Tb Segate drive is gpt/lvm2, one large partition. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
