Hello All,
Our issue is when we reboot our server one the partition get umounted automatically. Every time we have to mount our partition manually. We have entry of that partition in fstab.
We have :
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 1
Could anyone please tell what is causing this issue.?
Hi
Can you show the fstab entry and also the full command you use to
manually mount.

Hi, thanks for the link. Let me explain my scenario
We have two Volumegroups
say Volumegroup1 and Volumegroup
first partition:
/dev/mapper/Volumegroup1-logicalvolume1
GB GB GB 86% /opt/abc
fstab entry for this partition is
/dev/ Volumegroup1/logicalvolume1/opt/abc ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
the multipathed fstab entry for iscsi device is,
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-p /opt/abc ext3 nofail 1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-p /opt/abc ext3 nofail 1 2
the second partition is:
/dev/mapper/Volumegroup-logicalvolume
GB MB GB 1% /opt/abc/pqr
fstab entry for this is:
/dev/ Volumegroup/logicalvolume /opt/abc/pqr ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
We are facing the problem for the second partition. It is the one which is getting unmounted automatically. And just for clarification we had rebooted the server at earlier time and did not get the problem.
And also the open-iscsi is on in chkconfig and multipathd service is off on in chkconfig , the open-iscsi service is running but the multipathd service is unused.
Thanks

Hi agarud,
is the fstab entry for /opt/abc/pqr after the one for /opt/abc?

Hi Jens,
no /opt/abc/pqr is first followed by the iscsci devices and after that /opt/abc.
Thanks

then there’s your problem. You need to first mount /opt/abc, so that then you can mount /opt/abc/pqr.
Manual mount succeeds as you have /opt/abc mounted per fstab before running the manual mount.

Hi Jens,
Thanks, Willl try it. so there is no prob with the fstab entry for scsi devices. And also multipathd service is off in chkconfig.
Thanks
agarud
Hi Jens ,
Just for confirmation,
first the /opt/abc then scsi devices and /opt/abc/pqr in that order…
Thanks

sorry to be inprecise: In such an order that the top-level directories get mounted first, and further down those mounts that are beneath prior mounts.
In other words: You need to mount “/” (root) first. From there, you need to keep fstab in such an order that the mount point (the directory where you mount the individual device to) is already present. If you mount devices to /var and /var/tmp, you need to have the entry for /var first, and then the entry for /var/tmp. No matter what the device is (iSCSI, FC, disk, RAM, virtual,…).

Jens
