From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ja-JP; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: When I have a mount entry for /dev/dm-0 in /etc/fstab, the startup script complains that /dev/dm-0 doesn't exist and prompts root's password. The message was something like: *** An error occurred during the file system check. *** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot *** when you leave the shell. If I set a noauto option to the fstab entry, or just comment it out, things are ok except the partition is not mounted at all. The relevant fstab entry is: /dev/dm-0 /work ext3 defaults 1 2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dmraid-1.0.0.rc6.1-3_RHEL4_U1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add and set up a ATARAID card with hard drives. 2. Boot. 3. Check if the ATARAID is properly configured by `dmraid -cccs.' 4. Enable it with `dmraid -ay.' 5. Create a partition into /dev/dm-0. 6. Add a mount entry for /dev/dm-0 to /etc/fstab. 7. Reboot. Actual Results: Stop during startup and cannot be logged in, etc. any more. Expected Results: Startup finishes and /dev/dm-0 is correctly mounted to /work. Additional info: My ATARAID card is Promise FastTrak TX2000 and correctly detected as following: # /sbin/dmraid -cccs pdc_dhiibgdi:585937500:128:mirror:ok:0:2:0 /dev/hde:pdc:pdc_dhiibgdi:mirror:ok:585937500:0 /dev/hdg:pdc:pdc_dhiibgdi:mirror:ok:585937500:0
There should be a dmraid enable action in the startup scripts like: # dmraid initialization action $"Setting up dmraid:" /sbin/dmraid -ay When I added the lines above into rc.sysinit, just after LVM initialization action, startup came to be finished and the partition was properly mounted. But I don't know if the location is best or how to test if any dmraid devices exist before running /sbin/dmraid, which might be necessary.
This will be covered by adding installer support to Anaconda and enhancements to the initscripts, which are in the works already. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 151585 ***
