At least is is on a personal desktop machine which also serves as a NFS server or other machines.

[opensuse] Putting systemd back

This may be odd but I'd like to put systemd back after installing sysvinit-init. systemd is indeed better and faster at least on my system. How do I accomplish this? Am I apt to encounter any difficulties?

Re: [opensuse] upgrade from 11.4 to 12.1 can't boot from software raid
by James D. Parra 01 Mar '12

Had a software raid of raid 1 for /dev/md0 = boot and /dev/md2 = /, however after the upgrade the system boots with the grub error; root=/dev/md2 - Cannot mount selected partition. What can be done from the rescue mode to get the system back online? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is what I was able to accomplish in Rescue Mode; 1. Ran #ls /dev/md* and found four unusual entries, md124 md125 md126 and md127 2. Ran #cat /proc/mdstat and found the above md###'s in an active state 3. Stopped all four with #mdadm --stop /dev/md124, etc and rechecked /proc/mdsat and found nothing listed. 4. Then ran #mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1, #mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2, #mdadm --assemble /dev/md2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 5. Ran #cat /proc/mdstat and all three raids appear properly 6. Then did the following; A. mkdir /mnt/sysimage B. mount /dev/md2 /mnt/sysimage C. mount -o bind /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev D. mount -o bind /proc /mnt/sysimage/proc E. mount /dev/md0 /boot 7. Ran #cp /etc/mdadm.conf /etc/mdadm.conf.old 8. To get a correct mdadm.conf file ran # mdadm --examine --scan > /etc/mdadm.conf This mdadm.conf was different from the mdadm.conf.old file so I thought the server would boot normally, however I still get the error root=/dev/md2 - Cannot mount the selected partition. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Thank you, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
