Description peter.stamfest 2000-10-07 05:22:38 UTC

Maybe this has been fixed with the new mount RPM (bugzilla query didn't
yield useful results), but I ran into the following problem: When using md
devices and volume labels to mount filesystems on them, one of the devices
making up the RAID-1 md was used instead.

So when putting /usr on a RAID-1 md consisting of /dev/hda5 and /dev/hdc5,
the /usr entry (using a volume label) caused /dev/hda5 to be mounted. This
is definitely not what is wanted.

What does /proc/mdstat look like on system startup? Also, please send your
/etc/raidtab and the fdisk -l output on each of your partitions.

This should be fixed in 7.1.
