Description of problem: Replacing PERC5/E controller attached to an MD1000 storage box results in fsck errors during boot up and root filesystem does not get mounted. By rebooting again the issue is not founf. By removing the /etc/blkid.tab file before changing the PERC5/E controller results in the /etc/blkid.tab file being generated freshly and again the issue doesn't occur again. So, the bug is in the blkid tool in the e2fsprogs application which runs fsck on the partitions before mounting them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): e2fsprogs-1.35-12.4.EL4 How reproducible: Often. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Install RHEL4 U4 32bit (kernel version : 2.6.9-42.ELsmp) on RAID5 on PERC5iA. 2)Create two or three VD's on PERC5/E from OMSS or the controller BIOS. 3)Shutdown the system and replace the PERC5/E controller with another one with same fw level and having no config on it. 4)Switch ON the system and observe the booting process.Booting ends up on the screen "Give root password for maintenance". Actual results: Fsck error occurs resulting in filesystem not being mounted. Expected results: System boot should be error free even the first time. Additional info: 1) Basically the fsck on / fails and filesystem is not mounted. 2) Manually mounting the filesystem after running fsck makes the problem go away. 3) Simply rebooting the system at this time makes the problem go away. 4) Deleting the /etc/blkid.tab before changin the PERC5/E controller makes the problem go away.
