Device won't mount during boot - CentOS 5.4 on Amazon EC2 instance
I'm having a consistent problem with instances on Amazon EC2, which a lot of searching including here has resulted in no solution.
During boot I see the following message on the console (or "System Log" in the Amazon console):
Code:
Mounting local filesystems: mount: /dev/sdg already mounted or /apps busy
(I'll append a extract from the full log below).
Once I log into the instance, I can access the filesystem so it's mounted somehow but I can't figure out what's going on:
Code:
# df -k /apps
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
- 20642428 176208 19417644 1% /apps
If I force an unmount of the filesystem, then remount it then appears more normal:
Code:
# umount -f /apps
# mount -a
# df -k /apps
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdg 20642428 176208 19417644 1% /apps
#
Here's what's in /etc/fstab:
Code:
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb /mnt ext3 defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/swapfile1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdg /apps ext3 defaults,noatime 0 0
#
Can anyone suggest some ideas of what's going on here? Or how to troubleshoot? I'd like to be able to start these up without having to login to fix things up manually.
