mount : local file systems failed
 

Hi,

We have given 2 LUNs from a NetApp filer to a RHEL5.1 server.

Then we ran the iscsiadm command to detect the targets and LUNs got succesfully.

We created file systems on the LUNs and mounted them to a mount point.

the Entry has been made in the /etc/fstab file.

This issue is, when we reboot the system we get the error,

mounting local file systems failed and it hints at LUNs.

But once we login to the system we see all the file systems are mounted and fine.

LUN configuration is fine too.

Please advise how to go about it.

Regards,

Have you read the doco ?. I seem to remember an open-iSCSI readme that covers auto startup requirements (never used it tho').

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I went through the README guide and I have done the setup as

node.conn[0].startup = automatic in the iscsid.conf

What I guess is, the ISCSI daemon start after the mounting of the Local file system. So /etc/fstab entry is not helping.

Because, we see when the system boot is complete, the LUNs are mounted and Intact.

I need to find out a way in which I can start the iSCSI daemon before the mount daemon.

Thanks again for the reply.

Best Regards,

Athreya

Hi ,

I found the solution for the same.

Instead of metioning ext3 in the /etc/fstab we have to mention _netdev as the File System.

This will solve the issue.
